In this paper we present a system prototype for supporting the orthopedics rehabilitation process at the hospital and at home. In the system, the patient gets immediate feedback on the executed exercises controlling a gaming interface, while the system collects data about the therapy progress. Physiotherapists are able to remotely monitor the patient activity, and to adjust therapy according to the data available and patient's capacity. During the conference, authors will demonstrate functions and the concept behind the system, and will exemplify the different scenarios of use of this innovative tool, allowing the conference participants to wear the sensors and experiment the system in first hand. The system is now at a prototype stage.

Abstract

In this paper we present a system prototype for supporting the orthopedics rehabilitation process at the hospital and at home. In the system, the patient gets immediate feedback on the executed exercises controlling a gaming interface, while the system collects data about the therapy progress. Physiotherapists are able to remotely monitor the patient activity, and to adjust therapy according to the data available and patient's capacity. During the conference, authors will demonstrate functions and the concept behind the system, and will exemplify the different scenarios of use of this innovative tool, allowing the conference participants to wear the sensors and experiment the system in first hand. The system is now at a prototype stage.
