A Stereoscopic Motion Tracking System is being developed for use with a video game system for rehabilitation of children affected by Cerebral Palsy. Two cameras will be used to track the (x, y) location of a motion, using stereoscopic principles this data will be used to calculate the Z location of the motion. This data will be collected for the duration of a game. Tracking the motion of a child playing...
Human motion analysis using artificial vision is an interesting topic in the biomechanical analysis of the human body for rehabilitation routines. The people with motor disorders can achieve better and faster results if a quantitative analysis of patient progress is carried out by precision. Nowadays, there are many systems capable to capture human body movements, however these tools can be invasive,...
This article describes an innovative diagnostics and monitoring method of patient rehabilitation. It covers the description of the system, states the problems and shows a solution to them.
The Rutgers Arm II (RA II) is a new system that trains the shoulder/arm motor control, strengthening, arm speed of motion, endurance, and grasp strength in a single rehabilitation session. The system components are a tilted low-friction table, a forearm support with markers and wireless transmitter, a shoulder appendage to detect compensatory leaning, infrared vision tracking, a large display and...
Stroke is the main cause of disabilities in the world and is typically treated with intensive, hands-on physical and occupational therapy for several weeks after the initial injury. However, due to economic pressures, stroke patients are receiving less therapy and going home sooner, so the potential benefit of the therapy is not completely realized. Thus, it is important to develop rehabilitation...
We present an at-home assessment system for upper extremity rehabilitation with simple motion capture that is functional and affordable. This system uses lighted targets to initiate a reach to grasp (or touch, if the patient is unable to grasp) to three touch- and force-sensitive cones. During the reach, end-point reach trajectory is captured using a low-cost, custom-built infrared motion capture...
The Rutgers Arm II trains primarily shoulder motor control, arm dynamic response, endurance and cognitive anticipatory strategies in virtual environments. It improves on our earlier Rutgers Arm by replacing magnetic tracking with a visual tracking and by the use of a training table that tilts. Pilot trials with a single subject showed clear dependency on table tilt angle. Further trials are ongoing.
