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.
Stroke is the main cause of motor and cognitive disabilities requiring therapy in the world. Therefor it is important to develop rehabilitation technology that allows individuals who had suffered a stroke to practice intensive movement training without the expense of an always-present therapist. We have developed a low-cost vision-based system that allows stroke survivors to practice arm movement...
We present a robust 3-D parts-based (PB) tracking system designed to follow the upper limb of stroke survivors during desktop activities. This system fits a probabilistic model of the arm to sequences of images taken from multiple angles. The arm model defines shapes and colors of limbs and limb configurations that are more or less likely. We demonstrate that the system is 1) robust to cluttered scenes...
Intelligent rehabilitation system has become a hot topic. In home rehabilitation system, the real-time tracking of human motion is very important. In this paper, it presents a modified CamShift (continuously adaptive mean shift) algorithm, which can track human limb motion in real time. Considering the limb motion and selected color probability distribution all together, we put forwards the modified...
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...
Various motion input and sensing methods have been evaluated in designing a home-based physiotherapy rehabilitation system for spinal cord injury patients. The important design factors include; the ability of the system to track human motion such that the requirements of a game input and data logging software are met; the ability to modify the platform to suit the existing and possible future requirements;...
Recent studies have shown the potential benefits of applying technology to stroke rehabilitation. Traditional rehabilitation tasks are often mundane, and can lead to a lack of patient motivation, resulting in little or no independent patient exercise taking place. We describe a low-cost visual tracking system suitable for upper limb stroke rehabilitation in the home which does not require expensive...
