Abstract:
The need of using advanced remote devices to promote effective self-management of rehabilitation has rapidly grown in developed countries. The widely spread camera-equipped mobile devices and Internet of Things (IoT) have been expected to deliver professional services by connecting clinician to client for assessment and consultation. This study proposes an IoT-based Tele-Rehabilitation (TR) framework using a single camera to observe the body joints of the client in three-dimensional (3D) space on performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Our experiments show that the proposed framework is capable to measure joint and orientation angles of elbow and knee comparable with the measurements using the Kinect. A waterproof camera was used to show that the proposed system can be extended to do the joint measurements during aquatic therapy and fitness pools.
