TagTrainer: supporting exercise variability and tailoring in technology supported upper limb training

This study introduces TagTrainer, a system designed to help people with arm and hand weakness improve their skills. TagTrainer allows therapists to create customized exercises for patients using everyday objects. The system uses a special interactive tabletop that can detect objects with electronic tags, guiding patients through exercises that mimic daily tasks. Therapists found the system helpful for creating varied and personalized training programs, especially in group settings where they can supervise multiple patients at once.
