The research aims to investigate the efficacy of home-based therapy through the use of advanced sensor technology.  The objectives are to: (1) Identify an appropriate technology that can be used to support  stroke rehabilitation therapy in the home or hospital environment.  (2) Explore the potential of rehabilitation facilitated by the technology as a means of improving functional outcomes following stroke so as to assist older people to remain in their own homes.  (3) Develop prototype hardware and software that can be used to monitor the quality and duration of therapy interventions in a home or hospital environment.  (4) Develop software that will offer patient empowerment and to provide decision support tools to monitor the progress and outcome of rehabilitation.  (5) Determine how this technology can be applied, its benefits, limitations and the technical support and infrastructure required.
