To facilitate the rehabilitation process, and in particular the interaction between the patient and their support team of healthcare professionals, the patient's progress will be monitored and adjusted using a web-based strategy for communication between them and their support team as part of a virtual rehabilitation and support network.  This same web-based communication strategy will also be used to support feedback to patients as to their progress against defined and agreed objectives.  The exoskeleton will also be capable of limited self adaptation (within defined parameters) to patient performance based on pre-programmed settings and progression targets.  This will remove the need for a direct intervention at the patient's home every time there is a change to be made to the system set-up as their rehabilitation progresses.
