Abstract :
The analysis of chaotic components in movements during hands tremor and more classic analysis of the movements is considered in relation to its application to diagnosis and rehabilitation techniques. Fuzzy methods are used to characterize the movements and to assess their normality. Visual and auditory feedback is provided to help controlling the movements in a rehabilitation system that incorporates elements of virtual reality
