ABSTRACT
The application of telerehabilitation system has gained popularity and acceptance recently due to the restrictions in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper described the development of an elbow-wrist telerehabilitation system that complement the disrupted routine rehabilitation session. The developed system consists of a wearable exoskeleton system that assist in rehabilitation of the elbow and wrist joints for individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's and Spinal Cord Injuries that affects movements of the upper extremities. The two modes of operation available enables the adoption of the 5G technology in the near future. This system also potentially fulfills the requirement of Accessibility, Availability, Affordability, and Acceptability (4As) of Telerehabilitation System in Malaysia. Overall development cost of the system is approximately MYR 500. The system enable rehabilitation to be performed at home-setting with a cloud-based monitoring system that will provide long-term monitoring for clinician's assessment. The project provides a proof-of-concept of such system in the Malaysian context.Clinical Relevance - This work demonstrated the proof-of concept of a 4A system is applicable in the Malaysian context. © 2022 IEEE.
