Abstract
A system for treating a patient with neurological disorders of movement includes a patient computing device for use in rehabilitative training and a sensor worn about a body part being rehabilitated. A healthcare computing device is used by a healthcare professional to assist remote patient rehabilitation by accepting input signals and determining for the patient a rehab protocol depending on selected parameters, and determining for the patient a behavior shaping target depending on selected parameters and the rehab protocol and behavior shaping target is communicated to the patient while the patient is undergoing rehabilitation. A plurality of remote health data sites and other public repositories of health data of patients undergoing rehabilitation following neurological events can be included. The remote computing device can include a data repository of publicly available patient data and patient data gathered by system of present invention.
