However the power of the dedicated rehabilitation software is the fact the exercise task provides the patient with real time instructions on how to move their hand, arm, fingers and other joints of the body. The tasks can be customized so that the difficulty level will exercise the patients exact movement dysfunction. In addition augmented feedback is provided on the result of the patient’s movement and on the patients movement performance this motivates and stimulate patients to continue task practice.
