A Therapist Interface for Telerehabilitation using Virtual Glove

Rehabilitation of the hand after ischaemic events or surgery is a long and repetitive process, often requiring specialized supervision. This paper presents an open-source therapist interface developed in Unity and C#, designed to automate and standardize rehabilitation protocols using the Virtual Glove (VG), a touchless system for hand tracking and telerehabilitation. The interface provides an intuitive graphical platform for managing patient data and designing tailored rehabilitation exercises, enabling therapists to create and distribute customized exercise plans. This facilitates patient-led, guided rehabilitation remotely, enhancing accessibility and convenience by allowing sessions in the comfort of their homes using an affordable device. This work aims to improve the effectiveness and reach of hand rehabilitation by offering a user-friendly, flexible, and methodologically sound solution for applying quantitative rehabilitation principles.
