Anthropometric measurements for hand rehabilitation robotic devices using video processing

Abstract

This paper is presenting video processing applications for determining anthropometric measurements used for developing robotic rehabilitation devices. This paper is part of an ongoing project of developing rehabilitation devices aimed for the human hand, mainly for regaining motor functions by the aid of robotics. This paper is presenting research using video processing software for data collecting. The focus of rehabilitation is aimed for the human hand, mainly for regaining motor functions by the aid of robotics. The area of application for the robotic rehabilitation devices are for patients suffering from paretic symptoms following stroke.
