Abstract

In this paper, We present a Self-Physical Rehabilitation System (SPRS) that assists patients to rehab correctly at home by themselves without physical therapists for solving the problem of access to medical service. SPRS uses KINECT to detect movement of patient's body while doing self-rehab and processing of data from motion detection of patients by KINECT to determine accuracy of gesture. This software that allows patients to exercises with 9 gestures of balance physical therapies which are Hip extension, Side Leg raise, Knee flexion, Hip flexion, Plantar flexion, Tandem walk, Side walk, Chair Stands, and Timed Up &Go. The results show SPRS allows patients rehab correctly with a slight error that better than exercise without assisted by software. ฉ 2014 IEEE.
