Leap-Motion Based Online Interactive System for Hand Rehabilitation

摘要

Insufficient recognition to hand afunction caused by overwork, injury and geratic complications leads to inadequate auxiliary for hand rehabilitation. Patients' rehabilitative training is usually limited to rehabilitation center in hospitals, leaving their time at home inefficient for precise recovery. In this paper, we introduced an online interactive system for hand rehabilitation based on Leap Motion controller. We established this system for doctor, on which they can prescribe patient to imitate standard exercise motion and get automatic feedback, such as score, according to similarity, thus enhance rehabilitation effect. In pilot study, we recruited 4 rehabilitation doctors and 8 patients to investigate core requirements for rehabilitation and then developed this system based on their expectation. After briefly presentation of the first version prototype to doctors, we got evaluation showing that the Leap-Motion-Based interactive system for hand rehabilitation can be effective for better independent training, and designating a direction for future work as well.
