Web Platform for Visualisation of Kinematic Data captured from a Motor Tele-rehabilitation System

TL;DR

This paper presents a web platform that visualizes kinematic data from stroke rehabilitation exercises captured by Kinect, enabling remote monitoring and progress tracking through a serious game called 'Move to the Music' for tele-rehabilitation.

Contribution

It introduces a novel web-based visualization system for kinematic data in stroke tele-rehabilitation, integrating serious gaming and remote progress assessment.

Findings

Enables remote tracking of motor recovery progress.

Uses Kinect sensor for real-time movement capture.

Provides quantitative feedback for healthcare professionals.

Abstract

Stroke can have a severe impact on an individual's quality of life, leading to consequences such as motor loss and communication problems, especially among the elderly. Studies have shown that early and easy access to stroke rehabilitation can improve an elderly individual's quality of life, and that telerehabilitation is a solution that facilitates this improvement. In this work, we visualize movement to music during rehabilitation exercises captured by the Kinect motion sensor, using a dedicated Serious Game called `Move to the Music'(MoMu). Our system provides a quantitative view of progress made by patients during a motor rehabilitation regime for healthcare professionals to track remotely (tele-rehab).
