Intelligent Agent for Assessing and Guiding Rehabilitation Exercises

摘要

Individualized rehabilitation sessions with a therapists are important to improve physical ability of a patient with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. However, in-home rehabilitation regimens are often prescribed due to therapist’s limited availability. During in-home rehabilitation, patients might become confused whether they correctly follow rehabilitation regimens. To address this problem, this research aims to develop a Socially Assistive Robot that can interactively accommodate expert’s domain knowledge into a data-driven model to assess exercise performance and guide desirable joint positions for improvement.
