Background/Objectives: Spasticity commonly occurs in individuals after experiencing a stroke, impairing their hand function and limiting activities of daily living (ADLs). In this paper, we introduce an exoskeletal aid, combined with set augmented reality (AR) games consisting the Rehabotics rehabilitation solution, designed for upper limb spasticity following stroke. Methods: Our study, involving 60 post-stroke patients (mean ± SD age: 70.97 4.89 years), demonstrates significant...
Impaired hand function is one of the most frequently persistent consequences stroke. Throughout rehabilitation process, physicians consistently monitor patients and perform kinematic evaluations in order to assess their overall progress motor recovery. The Sollerman Hand Function Test (SHT) a valuable assessment tool used evaluate patient's capacity engage daily activities. It holds great importance field medicine as it aids treatment effectiveness. Nevertheless, requirement for therapist's...
Post-stroke patients very commonly present upper limb deficits, while their rehabilitation comprises regular monitoring and kinematic assessments to evaluate motor recovery. One of the most used recommended tools objectively measure dexterity is Box Block Test (BBT). However, test itself time consuming cumbersome.After briefly presenting a literature review, this paper proposes computer vision (CV-BBT) approach traditional BBT, as virtual alternative real world procedure. Our CV-BBT...
A popular and widely suggested measure for assessing unilateral hand motor skills in stroke patients is the box block test (BBT). Our study aimed to create an augmented reality enhanced version of BBT (AR-BBT) evaluate its correlation original patients. Following G-power analysis, clinical examination, inclusion-exclusion criteria, 31 were included this study. AR-BBT was developed using Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV). The MediaPipe's tracking library uses a palm landmark...
The Sollerman Hand Function Test is an assessment tool which shows the ability of a patient to perform activities daily living. It considered highly significant in medicine for treatments. commonly used by doctors and therapists evaluate rehabilitation fine motor skills patients, however need physical presence therapist use specific materials make test time consuming clinic dependent.Our presented approach digital version subtest included Test, alternative tool. Our application can be at any...
Patients who have experienced a stroke frequently exhibit impairments in the upper limb, necessitating ongoing monitoring and kinematic assessments to gauge motor recovery. Traditional physiotherapy involves patients visiting clinicians for initial limb evaluations, assessing passive active range of motion. However, relying solely on hospital-based rehabilitation encounters challenges delivering prolonged therapeutic interventions. Thus, there is need augment traditional methods with modern...
Hand function impairment is a common consequence of stroke, requiring continuous monitoring and kinematic evaluations to assess motor recovery progress. The Sollerman Function Test (SHT) the Box Block (BBT) are some essential assessment tools for evaluating patients' ability perform everyday activities. However, need physical presence therapist use specialized materials makes process time-consuming dependent on availability clinical resources. This paper focuses development computer vision...
Limb spasticity is caused by stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and various central nervous system pathologies such as tumors resulting in joint stiffness, loss of hand function severe pain. This paper presents with the Rehabotics integrated rehabilitation aiming to provide highly individualized assessment treatment upper limbs for patients after focusing on developed passive exoskeletal system. The proposed can: (i) measure motor kinematic parameters limb order evaluate...
