Technologies in Home-Based Digital Rehabilitation: Scoping Review.

Background: Due to growing pressure on the health care system, a shift in rehabilitation to home settings is essential. However, efficient support for home-based rehabilitation is lacking. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges and has affected individuals and health care professionals during rehabilitation.

The Influence of Mobile Device Type on Camera-Based Monitoring of Neck Movements for Cervical Rehabilitation.

We developed a mobile application for cervical rehabilitation that uses a non-invasive camera-based head-tracker sensor for monitoring neck movements. The intended user population should be able to use the mobile application in their own mobile device, but mobile devices have different camera sensors and screen dimensions that could affect the user performance and neck movement monitoring. In this work, we studied the influence of mobile devices type on camera-based monitoring of neck movements for rehabilitation purposes.

Camera-Based Monitoring of Neck Movements for Cervical Rehabilitation Mobile Applications.

Vision-based interfaces are used for monitoring human motion. In particular, camera-based head-trackers interpret the movement of the user's head for interacting with devices. Neck pain is one of the most important musculoskeletal conditions in prevalence and years lived with disability.

Vision-based serious games and virtual reality systems for motor rehabilitation: A review geared toward a research methodology.

Background: Nowadays, information technologies are being widely adopted to promote healthcare and rehabilitation. Owing to their affordability and use of hand-free controllers, vision-based systems have gradually been integrated into motor rehabilitation programs and have greatly drawn the interest of healthcare practitioners and the research community. Many studies have illustrated the effectiveness of these systems in rehabilitation.

Feasibility of Kinect-Based Games for Balance Rehabilitation: A Case Study.

We aimed at determining the effects of prototype games on older adults attending a rehabilitation program in an elderly house in this work. We conducted an initial case study where two participants underwent a 5-week intervention. Feasibility was assessed by examining recruitment, adherence, and safety.

Improving vision-based motor rehabilitation interactive systems for users with disabilities using mirror feedback.

Observation is recommended in motor rehabilitation. For this reason, the aim of this study was to experimentally test the feasibility and benefit of including mirror feedback in vision-based rehabilitation systems: we projected the user on the screen. We conducted a user study by using a previously evaluated system that improved the balance and postural control of adults with cerebral palsy.

Interactive rehabilitation system for improvement of balance therapies in people with cerebral palsy.

The present study covers a new experimental system, designed to improve the balance and postural control of adults with cerebral palsy. This system is based on a serious game for balance rehabilitation therapy, designed using the prototype development paradigm and features for rehabilitation with serious games: feedback, adaptability, motivational elements, and monitoring. In addition, the employed interaction technology is based on computer vision because motor rehabilitation consists of body movements that can be recorded, and because vision capture technology is noninvasive and can be used for clients who have difficulties in holding physical devices.
