Abstract: A system for rehabilitative therapy including a muscle contraction or body movement sensor coupled to a converter or interface, which is in turn coupled to a computer input port. The system includes software running on the computer for obtaining patient data, obtaining real time sensor data, storing sensor historical data, and outputting the sensor data as gamepiece movement or position in an executing computer game. In one embodiment, joint flexion and extension are required to move a cursor right and left. In another embodiment, joint rotation is required to move a cursor up and down. In one system the interface outputs data to a computer serial port. In one system, the relative sensor position is reflected in gamepiece position. In another system, the sensor position relative to a threshold is reflected in gamepiece movement after the body sensor passes a threshold in muscle contraction or body movement.
