Rehabilitation exercise feedback on Android platform

Abstract

In this paper, we present an overview of the VITFIZ platform. VITFIZ is a mobile exercise system which we have developed for the provision of personalized feedback to patients performing rehabilitation exercise. VITFIZ has been developed in response to the need for novel solutions that will facilitate effective implementation and management of rehabilitation exercise for patients in the home setting between visits to the clinic. Increased availability of smart phones equipped with motion sensors means that the system can be deployed on a mobile platform. VITFIZ has been evaluated in the laboratory and clinical setting and initial results suggest that it is an effective tool for increasing accuracy of exercise technique and motivation to perform exercise. It has promise as a mobile health application for the rehabilitation sector
