1. A rehabilitation device, comprising:
- a movement element capable of controlling at least one motion parameter of a portion of a patient;
a brain monitor which generates a signal indicative of brain activity; and
circuitry including a memory having stored therein rehabilitation information and which inter-relates said signal and movement of said movement element as part of a rehabilitation process which utilizes said rehabilitation information and wherein said circuitry is adapted to change at least one motion parameter responsive to said signal.
