Design and validation of a motion-tracking system for ROM measurements in home rehabilitation

This work deals with the design, implementation and experimental validation of a home rehabilitation system capable of bringing a real-time 3D reconstruction of human posture to the therapist's desk. The system has been validated against two commercial systems, capable of providing joint angle measurements and commonly used in rehabilitation gyms, which are used profitably to assist clinics in limb motor dysfunction treatment. Early experimental results promise to provide measurements accurate enough to complement the subjective therapist's perception with objective observations, leading to quantitative evaluation.
