Arm paresis is a very common disability among post-stroke survivors. It is characterized by the inability of a person to perform some specific movements in the arm. A Long term Rehabilitation process plays a key role in the recovery of this kind of disabilities, but such treatment might not be easily accessible to people living away from the cities where most of the rehabilitation centers are located. In this paper, we present our interactive rehabilitation system called "EGlove" that is aimed to help patients with wrist impairments to perform some daily exercises in a joyful and interactive manner. A 2D golf game that could be played with the glove was developed for this purpose.

Foot-drop is a common symptom among post stroke patients. It is characterized by the inability of a person to raise his/her foot at the ankle and to drag the toes during swing. To overcome such disability, long-term rehabilitation is crucial. However, such treatment might not be accessible to many people, especially those living far from the cities where most of the rehabilitation centers are located. In this paper, we present our interactive rehabilitation system called "E-Wobble" that consists of a modified version of a wobble board mounted with sensors and actuators. The proposed system aims to help patients with foot-drop symptoms so they can train their ankles and toes from home. The E-Wobble tangible interface is associated with a 2D golf game that motivates the patients to spend more time exercising while having fun.
