Abstract

Rehabilitation on a regular basis is essential to recover functional ability for patients with physical disabilities. However, performing correct movements without the therapist's guidance is considered to be a challenging problem. To this end, we propose an interactive system to support patients through rehabilitation, where a movement guidance agent is included. Our system recognizes and assists patients while engaging in rehabilitation activities. The proposed approach consists of three significant steps: (1) the estimation of patient movement through the camera; (2) the detection of patient movement; and (3) the detected movements, are then observed by an agent in order to instruct correct movement, if the movement was incorrectly performed. To this end, we propose an agent-based system that allows users to perform rehabilitation exercises anywhere with the proper guidance system. The proposed system is applied to track patient activities in real-time, with lightweight devices such as mobile phones.
