[Abstract + References] Virtual Hand Rehabilitation using a Mobile Camera – Poster

Abstract

In this poster, we position and present preliminary work of the design of camera based virtual hand rehabilitation. We position the proposed system as an application that can be hosted on any mobile device such as smartphone, tablet or a personal computer. The primarily focus of the application is to serve as a self-monitoring tool for home-based exercise programs for personnel experiencing stroke recovery. This is made possible by using a mobile camera to capture and measure hand movements during the prescribed rehabilitation exercise performance and provide real-time feedback to the user. Through this approach, we posit that our visual feedback-based approach and the innovative use of mobile camera technology for rehabilitation, has the potential to revolutionise home-based exercise programs for individuals with chronic disabilities.
