Abstract

Research on developing low cost home-based rehabilitation systems aim to provide support for the rehabilitation of post stroke patients in the home environment to promote/aid functional recovery and ultimately enhance their quality of life (QoL). A Web-based system has been proposed for monitoring the home-based rehabilitation and providing both therapeutic instruction and support information. The system will support specific rehabilitation interventions, provide a three-dimensional (3D) visual output and measure the effectiveness of the resulting actions undertaken by the participant. Information regarding process can be reviewed and accessed by the patient, their carers and health professionals.
