Interactive rehabilitation method and system for movement of upper and lower extremities

Abstract

An interactive rehabilitation method for movement of upper and lower extremities is disclosed. An identification label of an extracted image is detected to provide an operating position of an image of an extremity. A movement mode for a target image is determined according to the identification label and the target image is displayed in a scene. It is determined whether identification labels corresponding to movement of an extremity of the target image are being continuously obtained, and, if so, the performance of the movement of the extremity is led based on operational guidance. A feedback operation is provided according to the movement of the extremity, preset movement paths and velocities, and targeted positions of the target image. It is determined whether the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions, and, if so, the performance of the movement of the extremity is graded.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This Application claims priority of Taiwan Patent Application No. 96129617, filed on 10 Aug. 2007, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.[0003]1. Description of the Related Art[0004]Given the aging society, it has become more apparent that many everyday care products for older persons, do not meet or fully satisfy the needs of older persons. This is especially noticeable when looking at medical treatment for extremity and extremity attachments for apoplexy victims, wherein, the demand to provide more enjoyable and interesting extremity rehabilitation is growing. Note that it is assumed that current extremity rehabilitation for older persons are extremely boring, and because of this in part, causes poor rehabilitation results.[0005]One solution for the aforementioned problem, is to provide interactive games comprising virtual computer images for apoplexy victims, which are not only enjoyable but also ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes an interactive rehabilitation system that uses image analysis to detect the position of a patient's hand and control its movement in a virtual environment. The system can adjust the movement based on the patient's performance and provide feedback on their progress. The technical effect of this system is to provide a more effective and personalized rehabilitation experience for patients with hand injuries.
