Capture and posture assessment for patients with orthotic or prosthetic in lower limbs using augmented reality

摘要

The advancements in the interaction that one has with a computer through augmented reality (AR) and its applications are each time more noticeable. Applying AR elements and using motion capture devices, a system that captures and stores people's corporal postures has been developed, allowing the quantification of the capture through virtual tools in order to stablish adequate procedures during rehabilitation, primarily in users that use orthotic or prosthetic in lower limbs. The result of this research seeks to verify the viability of applying this tool in the area of physical rehabilitation and therefore, contribute to the improvement of disabled people quality of live, through additional services to which they already are used to, at low cost.
