Data analysis and study of human motions in activity of daily living for stroke rehabilitation

With the world’s population becoming an aging population, the incidence of stroke is increasing. The need to automate the rehabilitation process of stroke grows. With motion analysis of the movements of stroke patients, it is also possible for a development of stroke assessment scales using instrume...
