Summary

Physiotherapists spend a large amount of their time with patients observing their rehabilitation techniques. A patient going through rehabilitation exercises are routine and does not necessarily require the attention of the physiotherapist. This research will develop a sensor system that will be strapped onto the patients and will provide feedback on how accurately the exercise is being executed. This will free up the physiotherapist to focus on diagnosis and other tasks that will better utilize the physiotherapist's training. A previous study has shown that this system is feasible for healthy subjects. This study would test to see if this system is extendable to rehabilitation subjects.
