A digital platform for the rehabilitation of people with impaired fine motor skills of the upper limbs has been created at the Siberian State Medical University (SSMU). This was reported by the press service of the university.
The development will help restore the motor functions of patients suffering from polyneuropathy, mononeuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, stroke and other injuries. The new system allows you to adapt the implementation process to the individual characteristics of the body.
The application can be used at home; this requires a video camera and a computer. The system is trained to recognize 15 gestures, it tracks the main points of the upper limbs in space. The data is entered into the coordinate system and compared with a given motion pattern, and then transmitted to the attending physician.
This system allows you to objectify the rehabilitation process. The doctor receives information in the form of physical parameters of movement, which makes it possible to increase the accuracy of objective assessment of changes in the functions of the patient's upper limb against the background of ongoing training sessions.
The game has six levels with simple tasks (collecting postcards, coloring figures, sorting virtual fruits). The exercises were compiled by specialists from the Department of Nephrology and Neurosurgery of SSMU. For greater involvement in the rehabilitation game process, it is recommended to use a VR helmet.
The new rehabilitation system has successfully passed clinical trials. The next step is registration and technical tests.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Motorika is expanding production and planning an IPO.
