Designing Modular Rehabilitation Objects for Interactive Therapy in the Home

Published: 17 March 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Interactive home based rehabilitation therapy is a promising treatment development for stroke survivors. As the impairment characteristics of each stroke survivor are unique, interactive rehabilitation systems need to be customized to the functional and movement quality outcome goals of the patient, and adaptable over time as therapy progresses. In this paper, we present our iterative co-design process creating a set of modular therapy objects and a rehabilitation protocol for upper extremity stroke survivors. Our objects and training protocol are adaptable components within a computer vision based interactive system that captures and analyzes stroke survivors completing rehabilitation activities. We report on findings from a pilot study with nine stroke survivors and a workshop with five physiotherapists where we highlight challenges in designing objects for impaired grasps, opportunities for aligning objects with activities of everyday living, and the responsibility of design sensitivity.
