Proactive space — A novel post stroke mobility rehabilitation tool

The stroke is one of the most prevalent health and well being risks world-wide. In stroke patient rehabilitation, retrieving the ability to walk is an important goal. In addition to that, the gait should be sufficient for independent mobility in the community, thus eliminating the risk of more severe immobilization, falls and health deterioration. In this paper the requirements of a comprehensive and flexible mobility rehabilitation system - a proactive space are presented. The focus area of the system is described and motivated. The requirements cover the instrumentation and software. The realized pilot space is described.
