Around three quarters of years lived with disability are conditions that could benefit from physical rehabilitation—but there aren't enough physical therapists (PT) to go around. The growing need is racing alongside population growth, and aging as well as higher rates of severe ailments, even within the same age group, are contributing to the problem.
headset and tracking suit that lets you watch yourself perform alongside a physical therapist.
In the virtual environment, patients were given two conditions. In both cases their avatar performs alongside a physical therapist. In the first situation, just the motion tracking data is overlaid onto their patient avatar. In the second situation, the patient puts on the EIT sensing straps, and then they have all the information of the motion and the muscle engagement.
The team then did a cross comparison of how much time during the exercises the correct muscle group got triggered between the two conditions. In the condition where we show the muscle engagement data in real time, that's the feedback. By monitoring and recording the most engagement data, the PT's reported a much better understanding of the quality of the patient's exercise, and that it helped to better evaluate their current regime and exercise based on those stats.
With MuscleRehab, the EIT sensing board serves as the"brains" behind the system. It's accompanied by two straps filled with electrodes that are slipped onto a user's upper thigh to capture 3D volumetric data. The motion capturing—they used"OptiTrack"—uses 39 markers and a bunch of cameras that sense super high frame rates per second.
