Abstract
Automated constraint-induced therapy extension (AutoCITE) workstation and systems and methods therefor. Use of the AutoCITE workstation (and associated systems and methods) allows constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) to be extended to certain patients who have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain resection, Multiple Sclerosis or spinal cord injury and for whom continuous one-on-one supervision by a therapist is not practicable or financially feasible. Use of the AutoCITE workstation (and associated systems and methods) further allows a tele-rehabilitation approach that is based directly on CI therapy to be implemented.
