REHABO Details
The product use is targeted towards both the patients and the physiotherapists. Our mission is to help the stroke patients to recover in a faster, cheaper and better manner. In order to achieve our mission, we need to aid physiotherapists in monitoring the movement of each patient in a more organized and accurate manner. Developing countries like India account for more than four-fifths of all strokes. The stroke incidence rate in India is much higher than in other developing countries with approximately 1.8 million Indians out of a population of 1.2 billion suffering from stroke every year.Previous hospital-based data from India observed a high proportion of young stroke (first-ever stroke onset below 40 years of age), ranging between 15 and 30%. In a recent study at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), out of the 2634 patients admitted for ischemic stroke, 440 (16.7%) were in the age range of 18-45 years. Stroke is not limited to the elderly only.Our product aim to stroke rehabilitation by using a game that can aid physiotherapy and the physiotherapist. By understanding how the physical movements of a stroke victim differ to a non-victim, we have built a product that can record a body movement twice, and compare each action. Thereby we created a fun game to differ from regular physiotherapy and provide positive feedback for motivational purposes. It simulates physiotherapy in a stroke rehabilitation situation using the motion sensors and game. We developed a system that detects and evaluates physical therapy exercises using motion sensors. Our proposed algorithm detects all the occurrences of one or more template signals (Repetitive exercises).
