Title: CARAT (Computer Aided Rehabilitation Algorithms and Tools)
-
Throughout the world there is an increasing need for better technologies for rehabilitation and assistance. These new solutions must present improved performance in terms of therapy effectiveness, while at the same time minimizing the corresponding costs. In this scenario, computer-aided methods represent a promising alternative for the challenges currently faced by the rehabilitation domain. Within this collaborative research project, we focus on the following research topics: - Algorithms for human motion analysis for both clinical and residential settings based on portable and external sensing technologies - Sensory feedback devices to improve effectiveness on rehabilitation procedures - Robotic platforms for rehabilitation - Software development for telerehabilitation
