Motion monitor to measure progress of rehabilitation in people with conditions motor hand

Abstract

This article describes the development of a system for the movements of the fingers of parameterization in people with motor impairment from capture of deviation, which is joint metacarpal which unite the angles of metacarpophalangeal flexion-extension, proximal, medial and distal, and force sensors located in each of the phalanges of the fingers. This capture is fed back to the reading which is made with the Leap Motion device by a web application developed in JavaScript. The whole set of elements is integrated in a glove that holding the sensors and conforms to the shape of the hand; movement of the monitor platform is developed on the processing IDE, which allows viewing angles and the average force exerted identifies the progress of the patient.
