uppercontrol

UpperControl is a software application designed to manage and control upper body movements in individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injury. The software uses a combination of virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback to help users improve their motor skills and regain functional movement.

UpperControl typically involves the use of a VR headset and a set of sensors or gloves that track the user's movements. The software provides a variety of exercises and games that target different muscle groups in the upper body, such as the arms, shoulders, and hands. Users are guided through these exercises by a virtual coach, which provides real-time feedback on their form and progress.

The biofeedback component of UpperControl helps users understand their muscle activity and learn to control it more effectively. This is achieved through the use of electromyography (EMG) sensors, which measure the electrical activity of muscles and provide visual or auditory feedback to the user.

UpperControl has been shown to be effective in improving upper body function and quality of life for individuals with neurological conditions. It is often used in conjunction with other rehabilitation therapies, such as physical therapy and occupational therapy, to provide a comprehensive approach to recovery.

The software is typically used in clinical settings, such as hospitals and rehabilitation centers, but it can also be used at home with the guidance of a healthcare professional. UpperControl is available for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, and mobile devices.
