Abstract

This article describes how physical therapy rehabilitation promotes functional ability of the disabled people to improve quality of life using Range of Motion exercises. The conventional rehabilitation seems to be effective; however, the efficiency of the treatment sessions is not guaranteed resulting in longer recovery period. Thus, there is a need of self-motivating and engaging training solution to support rehabilitation and enhance continuous assessment of disabled patients. The proposed framework is “AR-NUI-REHAB-MDSS,” augmented reality (AR) using natural user interface (NUI) based physical therapy rehabilitation with personalized exercise rendering and monitoring system for patients and mobile decision support system (MDSS) for therapists leading to a global solution for remote assistance. NUI allows human computer interaction intuitively through human body gestures. AR provides an entertaining environment for treatments with less-assistance. MDSS enables therapist to customize treatment plans at dynamic environments. Upper limb is considered as its functional recovery is significant and more challenging.
