Stud Health Technol Inform. 2020 Sep 4:273:142-148. doi: 10.3233/SHTI200629.

Abstract

In this paper, we follow up on research dealing with body tracking and motor rehabilitation. We describe the current situation in telerehabilitation in the home environment. Existing solutions do not allow wide adoption due to hardware requirements and complicated setup. We come with the possibility of telerehabilitation using only laptop or mobile web camera. Together with physiotherapists, we have compiled a set of complex motor exercises to show that the system can be practically used.

Keywords: Motor rehabilitation; computer vision; home care; physiotherapy; telerehabilitation.
