Abstract

In this chapter we present a case study, which was part of an evaluation of the BrightArm Duo Rehabilitation System for treating the effects of chronic upper body pain following breast cancer surgery. The subject was a 22-year old woman with burning and stabbing pain in the right upper arm. Training consisted of playing custom bimanual 3D games while seated at a gravity-modulating robotic table. The therapy consisted of 16 sessions over eight weeks. Standardized assessments demonstrated a meaningful improvement in the motor, cognitive and emotive domains with a statistically significant reduction in pain. Gains transferred to daily activities enabling the subject to resume full time employment, driving and socializing.
