Project Abstract

Physiotherapy is an area that serves many people with injuries requiring rehabilitation and helps the patients to have a normal life. However, it experiences a lack of technical support as therapeutic exercises requires the direct supervision of a therapist. Among many technical areas, AR can overlay the real world in a digital world, helping the patients by providing the possibility of performing rehabilitation exercises by themselves offline the direct supervision of a therapist. The project aims to help patients outside the clinic, as most patients have difficulty understanding the prescribed exercises correctly on their own. Also, the worst is when injuries may occur due to incorrect performance of exercises. To perform rehabilitation exercises accurately, patients need immediate feedback. The project uses the so-called Human Pose Skeleton, which does the therapeutic exercises and monitors the movement of the patient in real-time. So that it becomes easier for the patient to see the movements of prescribed exercise and their body at the same time thus the patient is like a shadow of that Human Pose Skeleton trying to follow its movement and match them to ensure the correct performance of these unsupervised exercises. Nowadays, the market demands a mobile phone application that meets the needs of patients while performing therapeutic exercises in easy-to-use means and accessible to everyone who needs it as much as possible. The project aims to bridge this gap using active real-time feedback mechanisms to assist rehabilitation which will help patients continue performing exercises outside the clinic. This contributes to taking therapeutic exercises as a lifestyle, a desirable goal for successful rehabilitation.
