Seguimiento y Análisis del Movimiento de las Extremidades Superiores Aplicado a la Rehabilitación Física de un Paciente Usando Técnicas de Visión Artificial

Abstract

Commonly during physical rehabilitation, diagnosis given by the specialist is based on qualitative observations, suggesting in some cases, subjective conclusions. This paper proposes a quantitative approach, oriented to assist physiotherapists, through an interactive and low cost tool to measure movements of upper limbs. These movements are captured by a RGB-D sensor and processed using the proposed methodology, resulting in an efficient motion representation, allowing quantitative assessment of upper limb movements.
