Abstract
The paper presents the need for upper limb rehabilitation and gives one possible solution with rehabilitation robotics. The research objectives, medical and technical requirements analysis for an upper limb rehabilitation robotic system are presented. Designing a usable upper limb rehabilitation robotic system must address the needs of its users.
