Abstract
A modular, instrumented rehabilitation table and method of rehabilitation are disclosed. The table top can have a low friction top, a high friction bottom, a hollow section and no legs. An electronic controller is embedded in the hollow section of the table top. A first tilt sensor is embedded in the hollow section of the table top so as to sense tilt on a first axis. A second tilt sensor is embedded in the hollow section of the table top so as to sense tilt on a second axis. A tracking circuit, which can include a plurality of sensors arranged in a matrix format is provided. These can be embedded in the hollow section of the table top or can be atop the top surface of the table. A power supply embedded in the hollow section of the table top is provided. A communication circuit attached to the table top and electrically connected to the electronic controller is provided. The electronic controller sends a transmission signal including signals from the first tilt sensor, the second tilt sensor and the tracking circuit to the communication circuit which transmits the transmission signal.
