Research into better rehabilitation methods for stroke patients is linking
virtual-reality technology with physical therapy done via the Web. 

Someday, patients may be able to exercise at home, monitored remotely by
therapists. They would put on a glove with rings surrounding their fingers
and pistons connected to the rings. The force-feedback gloves would be linked
to a PC connected with a database that stores real-time information on the
exercises.
