Invited Paper: Low-Cost Telerehabilitation
نویسنده
چکیده
The hardware and software costs of telerehabilitation systems are summarized. Several hardware and software examples are given in order to look at what has been done, and what can be done in the future. At present only a single low-cost telerehabilitation system (developed at the University of California at Irvine) has been identified. The author does not claim this to be a comprehensive review, rather an attempt to motivate the reader to look at ways to overcome cost barriers to widespread telerehabilitation use.
