Abstract
Millions of people in the United States suffer from movement disabilities as the result of neurological injury and disease. Their rehabilitation is labor intensive, often relying on one-on-one, manual interactions with therapists. For many disorders, it is unknown which types of therapeutic manipulations best promote recovery. In addition, patient evaluation is often done subjectively, making it difficult to monitor treatment effects. This chapter demonstrates how appropriately designed machines might be brought to bear on these problems.
