Rehabilitation Centre.
ten days
valuable for all (?)
focused on tetraplegic
unique rehabilitation characteristics
7 patients.
3 therapists.
To better understand the rehabilitation process and highlight the major
requirements for a technology-enhanced tool
Questionnaires.
Observation.
Interviews.
Relevant issues
Exercises close to the therapist.
Local and global exercises.
Subjective and uncertain measurement.
Lack of feedback to the patient.
a computer platform supported with an accurate tracking system is a valuable addition to the current rehabilitation
procedures
Requirements
data persistence
motion capture
accuracy
reproduction
comparison
automatic info extraction
The system
Tracking the patient’s movements
The Interface.
Record movements.
Replay movements.
Compare movements.
Preliminary Evaluation
A lot quicker!
More precise.
Complete and accurate information.
A significant improvement.
Conclusions
current rehabilitation procedures are limited concerning the accurate
evaluation of the patients’ capabilities and evolution patterns
a virtual tracking-based platform enables the therapists to have immediate and on-
recall detailed information about the patients’ motions, evolution and overall
history
Future Work
evaluate in a rehabilitation centre thoroughly
use the information to lighten the process (rehabilitation games)
