Model Development of Lower Body Exercise for the Rehabilitation of Level 6 Filipino Post-Stroke Patients Using Microsoft Kinect Sensor V2

摘要

This study focused on developing models for three different lower body exercises that can be used in rehabilitation of level 6 Filipino post-stroke patients with left hemiparesis. Level 6 was chosen since this is the stage where muscle coordination is improved, and motor control is almost fully restored, requiring only minimal assistance. In addition, this study aimed to determine the relationship of the demographic information of users in relation to the recognition of correct/incorrect exercise and discover significant patterns that reflect the relationship between human body frames and execution of exercise. Decision Tree classifier was used on the training sets from the data collected from 48 non-stroke participants with varying demographics and body frames. Overall results showed that demographics have relationship with recognition of correct and incorrect exercise movements. Also, body frames in terms of Body Mass Index (BMI) was significant in recognition.
