Purpose of the Device
The SaeboReJoyce is a rehabilitation device intended
to measure, evaluate and increase the strength of
muscles and the range of motion of joints of the upper
extremities.
The SaeboReJoyce helps patients to retrain and
condition their muscles by using their hands and arms
to play interactive computer games.
The activities required by the computer games are
similar to tasks used in everyday life, such as pouring a
drink or opening a jar. Practicing these motions will
help patients to replicate them in real life.
NOTE: The SaeboReJoyce is intended
to be used only under clinician
supervision.

SaeboReJoyce User Manual
Patient Orientation
NOTE: Patients should undergo clinician
examination prior to beginning use of the
SaeboReJoyce. Patients with trunk weakness,
balance impairments, or other stability issues may
be at risk of falling. If necessary, make sure
patients have sufficient support such as chair
straps BEFORE using SaeboReJoyce.
Position the patient in a stable, armless chair in front of
the SaeboReJoyce such that the patient's affected
shoulder and arm is in-line with the SaeboReJoyce, and
that the Manipulandum is suspended just above the
patient's leg, half-way between the patient's knee and
hip.

SaeboReJoyce User Manual
The advanced mode displays a graph of each of the
sensors on the SaeboReJoyce. It outputs the sensor
values in real-time.
Exercises with the SaeboReJoyce
The SaeboReJoyce can be used for a variety of
functional uni-manual and bi-manual upper
extremity exercises including balance, trunk stability
training, functional range of motion exercises, gross
motor training and practicing fine motor tasks.
Balance and Trunk Stability
The SaeboReJoyce can be used to train reaching and
movement abilities by having the patient extend one or
both arms away from the body, thereby forcing the
individual to stabilize the movement with his or her
trunk muscles. Difficulty can be increased by having the
patient sit on an exercise ball.
Manipulanda ideally suited for this include the handles
and the gripper.
Range-of-Motion and Gross Motor Tasks
These exercises involve combining gross motor
movements with functional tasks in the
following categories:

SaeboReJoyce User Manual
Calibration Utility
NOTE: Avoid re-calibration unless you have
been instructed to do so by support personnel.
The Calibration Utility allows software to be recalibrated to the SaeboReJoyce hardware. The system
is shipped pre-calibrated, but in the event of hardware
change or troubleshooting, recalibration may be
necessary.
When using the calibration utility, ensure that after
every task the SaeboReJoyce is returned to its resting
position before continuing. It is recommended that
following calibration, the SaeboReJoyce Test Tool app
be run to verify correct calibration.
SaeboReJoyce Test Tool
The SaeboReJoyce Test Tool is used for diagnosing
hardware problems. It consists of two modes: basic and
advanced.
The basic mode displays a 3D model of the
SaeboReJoyce which is updated in real-time. It also
allows testing of the Manipulandum LEDs, gripper,
rotary-sensors and binary-sensors.
