Systems and methods for sensorimotor rehabilitation

摘要

A sensorimotor rehabilitation system can analyze body movement kinematics of a person, and in particular analyze the use of limbs (e.g., upper limbs) to provide feedback for sensorimotor rehabilitation. Parameters of body movement (e.g., quantity and type of body movement) can be assessed based on data recorded from an inertial sensor affixed or connected to, for example, an upper limb of a person or outer clothing such as a sleeve. Automated feedback can be provided to the user to improve sensorimotor rehabilitation.

主权项

1. A method for sensorimotor rehabilitation, the method comprising:
receiving one or more signals generated by at least one body-worn inertial sensor supported by an affected upper limb of a person to automatically detect movement of the affected limb during activities of daily living; with processing electronics comprising digital logic circuitry, processing sensor data derived from the one or more signals to identify a characteristic associated with at least one of a quantity of upper limb movement of the person during the activities of daily living or a type of upper limb movement of the person during the activities of daily living; and based at least in part on the identified characteristic, electronically generating information usable to present feedback usable in sensorimotor rehabilitation of the affected upper limb.
