Abstract: This study presents an innovative system for upper limb rehabilitation, combining a variable stiffness device, the ReHArm prototype, with a dynamic and engaging user interface, known as Arms Rehabilitation Management System. The proposed system offers a highly customisable approach to rehabilitation, ensuring real-time adaptability to patients' specific needs while maintaining compactness and ease of use. Key features include a modular design allowing precise stiffness adjustments, a robust control architecture, and interactive rehabilitation phases designed to enhance user engagement. Extensive multidisciplinary analyses, including kinematic, dynamic, and structural evaluations, demonstrate the system's ability to improve therapy effectiveness through tailored interaction and feedback. Validation tests demonstrated the prototype's reliability and robustness, and initial usability assessments suggest its potential to improve rehabilitation outcomes. Further clinical studies involving patients will be necessary to fully evaluate its therapeutic effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
