Physical therapy assistant-as-a-service (PTaaS) enables the automatic evaluation of a patient's performance of physical therapy exercises and the automatic provision of feedback to the patient on their exercise performance in real-time. A patient device can provide real-time patient exercise video to a PTaaS backend that performs checks prior to the patient performing the exercise (pre-checks) and checks during patient performance of the exercise (live checks). If any of the checks fail, the PTaaS can provide feedback to the patient, such as if the patient is in an incorrect starting pose or has a body part at an incorrect angle before beginning the exercise or if the patient's form or posture during performance of the exercise needs to be adjusted. The PTaaS can automatically generate exercise metrics, reports, and physical therapy insights that a physical therapy clinician can access from a clinician portal.

A smart stylus for use in hand therapy includes an elongate body having a stylus end, a central body, a C-shaped handle, and a handle end cap. The stylus end is connected to a first end of the central body and a second end of the central body is connected to a first end of the C-shaped handle. The central body is configured to taper in width and depth from the second end of the central body to the first end of the central body and the handle end cap is connected to a second end of the C-shaped handle. The length of the central body may be adjusted by sliding mechanisms. A pressure sensor measures the amount of force of the stylus tip on a therapeutic tablet. The therapeutic tablet presents therapy exercises and communicates therapy results to a physical therapist of the patient.
