Self-Adaptive Games for Rehabilitation at Home

by Michele Pirovano, Renato Mainetti, Gabriel Baud-bovy, Pier Luca Lanzi, Nunzio Alberto Borghese
"... Abstract—Computer games are a promising tool to support rehabilitation at home. It is widely recognized that rehabilitation games should (i) be nicely integrated in general-purpose rehabili-tation stations, (ii) adhere to the constraints posed by the clinical protocols, (iii) involve movements that ..."

In-Home Tele-Rehabilitation Improves Tetraplegic Hand

by Neurorehabilitation, Jan Kowalczewski, Su Ling Chong, Mary Galea, Arthur Prochazka
"... Background. Spinal cord injury (SCI) survivors with tetraplegia have great difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADLs). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) combined with exercise therapy (ET) can improve hand function, but deliver-ing the treatment is problematic. Objective. To compa ..."

. To compare 2 ET treatments delivered by in-home tele-therapy (IHT). Methods. Each treatment involved ET, tele-supervised 1 h/d, 5 d/wk for 6 weeks. Treatment 1: “conventional ET ” comprised strength training, computer games played with a trackball, and therapeutic electrical stimulation (TES). Treatment 2

A wireless human motion capturing system for home rehabilitation

by Yu-chee Tseng, Chin-hao Wu, Fang-jing Wu, Chi-fu Huang, Chung-ta King, Chun-yu Lin, Jang-ping Sheu, Chun-yu Chen, Chi-yuan Lo - In International Conference on Mobile Data Management , 2009
"... Abstract—Following the trend of miniature intelligent sensing, wearing small, integrated wireless sensor nodes, such as one with accelerometers and compasses, to capture human body motions may have many applications in medical care and computer animation. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of int ..."

of intelligent sensors to capture human motions for home rehabilitation. We design a game to help a patient to conduct his/her rehabilitation program. For each exercise, the patient is instructed to wear sensors on specified movable body parts. The system will then estimate the quality of the movements and give

Movement recognition and preference in home-based robot-assisted stroke rehabilitation

by Angelo Basteris , Farshid Amirabdollahian
"... ABSTRACT Robots can be effective tools for rehabilitation of subjects with stroke. Furthermore, home-based robotic rehabilitation could reduce the costs and improve the therapy outcome. We worked on such a context within the SCRIPT (Supervised Care and Rehabilitation Involving Personal Telerobotics ..."

Buiding a Visual Tracking System for Home-Based Rehabilitation

by Yaqing Tao, Huosheng Hu - In Proc. of the 9th Chinese Automation and Computing Society Conf. In the UK , 2003
"... Visual tracking of human movement has attracted increasing attention recently because of its wide spectrum of applications, including athletic and clinical performance analysis, human-computer interface, surveillance, motion capture for games and animation. There are two main techniques in the visua ..."
Abstract - Cited by 2 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
in the visual tracking of the human movement community: marker-based tracking and marker-free tracking. This paper presents a visual tracking system, which exploits both marker-based and marker-free methods, to support the home-based rehabilitation program. It provides a useful and complete tracking system

Social Integration of Stroke Patients through the Multiplayer Rehabilitation Gaming System

by Martina Maier, Belén Rubio Ballester, Esther Duarte, Armin Duff, Paul F. M. J. Verschure
"... Abstract. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability in adults (Go et al, 2013). The impact of stroke induced impairments goes beyond the mere loss of motor abilities. The psychosocial implications caused by changes in per-formance of the activities of daily living have to be consider ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
in order to overcome this limitation. By cre-ating a multiplayer game that enhances performance of the patient through an adaptive mapping methodology, we compensate for motor impairments and al-low the patient to interact with other participants on an equal level. We propose that this approach influences
