| summary | A significant motor improvement has been observed when subjects carry on their training sessions during everyday life; as such, a system that takes into account subject-specific differences would contribute to personalized home rehabilitation protocols. Similarly, fall risks can be avoided using systems capable of considering subject-specific characteristics. Human balance depends largely on the control of the full body center of mass (CoM) and is often estimated using anthropometric values that describe the mass and shape of a body segment for a standard population. However, these anthropometric values will differ between subjects, especially for motor-impaired subjects, as a function of age, somatotype, physical fitness level and even the position of any impaired muscles. The presentation will cover the creation of a personalized CoM model and the creation of a self identification platform using the Kinect that can be easily used by the subject. Moreover, we discuss the application of this interface for home rehabilitation. |
