A supplementary system based on wireless accelerometer network for rehabilitation

This paper presents a supplementary system for rehabilitation, which is based on the wireless accelerometer network and integrates with remote monitoring and cross-platform intelligent terminal. System features are analyzed, and then hardware, software and different platforms are discussed and developed. Two tested cases are presented. One is for rehabilitation training of a patient with elbow ligament injury, and the other for a hemiplegic patient. Results show that our developed WSN based system has many great advantages over the traditional counterpart for rehabilitation of the patients.
