Renovo: A sensor-based therapeutic system for real-time visualization of performance metrics in the rehabilitation of post-stroke upper limb disability

Timeline: Work in Progress
Project Summary: Stroke patients with motor impairments of the upper limb are conventionally re-acclimated to the corresponding motor functionalities through therapeutic interventions, following assessment by physiotherapists using various qualitative assessment protocols. However, such assessments are often biased and prone to errors. Consequently, real-time visualization and quantitative analysis of various Performance Metrics (PMs) of patient's arm motion, such as - range of motion, rate of repetition, velocity, etc., may be vital for proper progress assessment. In this regard, Renovo, a prototype of a sensor-based assistive technology may assist the physiotherapists with real-time visualization of PMs and quantitative patient assessment in the rehabilitation of post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation.
