Abstract
This study presents the design and development of a hardware/software to assist an arm rehabilitation therapy. Electromyography (EMG) and Mechanomyography (MMG) were used to calibrate the muscle activity according to the movements required by the therapist. The system has a video game with different difficulty levels, that generates the patients progress report in realtime to the medical personal with possibility to changing some parameters during the therapy.
Keywords:
EMG, MMG, muscle activity, rehabilitation, therapy,
