Rehabilitation Training System for Upper Limbs of Frail Elderly People

Currently, the elderly population has increased rapidly in the world. As one syndrome with high incidence in elderly people, frailty is mainly characterized by a reduction in muscle strength and a decline for muscle's function, which seriously affects the quality of elderly people's daily life. In this study, to help frail elderly patients carry out the rehabilitation of upper limbs, a novel Internet of Thing (IoT) rehabilitation stick system is deployed. In the system, motion sensors are used to monitor whether the rehabilitation physical activities are standardized. All data are in real-time displayed on the mobile app. Finally, we conducted experiments to validate the system.
