Zaid Abdulelah Mundher . Using a Kinect Sensor to Design and Implement an In-Home Rehabilitation System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 171, 6 ( Aug 2017), 32-36. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017915037
A stroke, which is a type of brain injury, often has negative effects on moving, talking, or thinking. Therefore, stroke victims should get in a physical rehabilitation process. The rehabilitation process is performed in a rehabilitation center. However, doing exercises at home is more convenient for patients and the cost is low. In this work, a mobile robot is used to develop a physical rehabilitation system based on a Kinect sensor. Moreover, the proposed system combined with a proposed person following system, so the robot is able to track and follow patients.
