Implementation of interactive games to a shoulder rehabilitation and evaluation system.

BACKGROUND: After an operation, the shoulder and wrist might not be able to lift and swing freely, and must be assisted with rehabilitation training. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, Kinect combined with multiple sensors of a Bluetooth ball is proposed to improve the measurement function of the arm's micro-motion trajectory, rotation amount, and acceleration, which cannot be detected by Kinect alone. METHODS: We designed two virtual scene rehabilitation games for clinical trials. We performed validity analysis with a paired sample t-test. RESULTS: A significance value of P*< 1 was obtained, and the arm lift angle shows an improvement from 30 composite function to 60 composite function, indicating that the range of motion of the hand and shoulder is gradually improving. CONCLUSION: PLEASE ASK AUTHORS TO PROVIDE THIS.
