In this paper, we present a media adaptation framework for an immersive biofeedback system for stroke patient rehabilitation. In our biofeedback system, media adaptation refers to changes in audio/visual feedback as well as changes in physical environment. Effective media adaptation frameworks help patients recover generative plans for arm movement with potential for significantly shortened therapeutic time. The media adaptation problem has significant challenges - (a) high dimensionality of adaptation parameter space (b) variability in the patient performance across and within sessions(c) the actual rehabilitation plan is typically a non first-order Markov process, making the learning task hard.
