We present a novel framework and system for at-home rehabilitative exercise in the absence of a physical therapist. The framework includes metrics for assessing motor performance on a wide variety of exercises. We present our system, the Autonomous Training Assistant, which utilizes this framework and a low-cost accessible exercise device called the Intelligent Stick to deliver feedback as a user trains at home. We evaluated the system's multimodal feedback mechanism in a case study whose results indicate that individual preference may have a significant effect on modality assignment for optimal learning. We conclude with ideas for future work.
