Development of tele-rehabilitation support system : Tries of qualitative measurement for Range of Motion

Abstract

we have developed a tele-rehabilitation support system. OT and PT evaluated it that this system is valuable to use for the tele-rehabilitation training. However, they pointed out that they can't touch patient directly and there is a blind spot form in the camera eye. We have thought that we have to develop qualitative measurement method for Range of Motion by image analysis. mere is possibility that ROM can be automatically detected in this system Also, we could get the data which becomes the standard of the process of the recovery. We will point out that this system is useful for the tele-rehabilitation.
