Research on Telerehabilitation
Indiana University Professor Meredith R.Golomb, M.D., M.Sc., of the School of Medicine and her colleagues have authored a research report titled "In-Home Virtual Reality Videogame Telerehabilitation in Adolescents with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy."
It would seem to me that both RTs and PTs might have interest in this research.
The research appeared in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in January of 2010 (Vol. 9, No. 1, pages 1-8).
Golomb and her colleagues concluded:
Use of remotely monitored virtual reality videogame telerehabilitation appears to produce improved hand function and forearm bone health (as measured by DXA and pQCT) in adolescents with chronic disability who practice regularly. Improved hand function appears to be reflected in functional brain changes.
The Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation article and an accompanying video demonstration can be found at http://www.archives-pmr.org

We are currently doing hand tele-rehabilitation as well as traditional one on one rehabilitation using the HandTutor. The HandTutor is an ergonomic glove with specialist rehabilitation software. This combination allows for impairment orientated fine hand training and biofeedback. The device is designed for rehabilitation of various patients that have finger and wrist movement impairments e.g stroke, CP, Orthopedic hand injuries and surgery.
Please conract me for more details.
