The system is made up of an ergonomic device and support software. The concept is based on carrying out controlled rehabilitation exercises that are customised for each patient, with precise information on patient progress shown in real time.

The system offers several digital games, specifically designed with different objectives in mind, which help the patient with the rehabilitation process by making it more entertaining and adding the necessary level of motivation. 

The systems can always be used as support for a rehabilitation programme designed by a therapist. The system is able to assess the following movements:

• Passive movement range.
• Active movement range.
• Joint movement speed.
• Quality of movement, measuring trembling and smoothness.
• Fine and gross motor skills. 

The system is able to treat the patient by using digital games, evaluating each process by carrying out the necessary assessments and storing all the data obtained for each patient. This information can be extremely useful when determining the output for each user, determining objectives and monitoring progress.
