1. A system for rehabilitation comprising:

  • a low-friction tilting table, said tilting table adapted to be movable at a tilt angle in one or more degrees of freedom;

    a forearm support adapted for receiving a forearm of a user, said forearm support being movable on, but not attached to, a top surface of said tilting table;

    an animated or virtual reality sequence forming an exercise simulation being displayed on a display;

    a hollow compliant element and pressure sensor, said pressure sensor measuring grasping forces of the user when grasping said hollow compliant element; and

    a tracking device for tracking movements of said forearm support upon interaction of said user with said exercise simulation,wherein said tracking device comprises a video camera and tracking software for tracking output from said video camera, wherein said tracking device measures movement of the forearm support on top of, but not attached to, the low-friction tilting table and interacts with the exercise simulation;

    wherein said video camera is attached to a vertical support attached to the top surface of the tilting table to provide a same relative orientation of the camera to the tilting table regardless of the tilt angle.
