Australian Researchers Develop Non-Robotic Rehab Device for Stroke Survivors
From: Physical Therapy Products - 11/13/2012

Researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane St. Lucia,
Australia, and James Cook University, Douglas, Queensland, Australia, have
developed a device called the Sensory-Motor Active Rehabilitation Training
Arm (SMART Arm), designed to help stroke survivors regain upper limb
movement. The non-robotic device is reportedly expected to be commercially
available in Australia within the next year.  

With the SMART Arm, stroke survivors with upper limb weakness can have
control over their own rehabilitation, according to a press release issued by
UQ. The device offers feedback about performance via an interactive computer
program, as well as incremental increases in load and reaching range.
