This paper investigates Kinect device application during rehabilitation of people with an ischemic stroke. There are many similar application using Kinect as a tool during rebilitation.
This paper is focused on measurement of Kinects spatioal accuracy and proposition of body states and exercises according to the Motor assessment scale for stroke (MAS). The system observes tje whole rehabilitation proces and objectively compares ranges of movement during each exercise.
Angles between limbs are computed in the skeletal body joints projection to three anatomical planes, which enables a better insight to subject performance. The systém is easily implemented with a consumer-grade computer and a low-cost Kinect divice.
Selected exercises are presented together with the angles evolution, body states recognition and the MAS Scqale after the stroke classification.
