Accessible Remote Rehabilitation System for Real-Time Biomechanical Monitoring (NCT07492797)
Development and Clinical Validation of an AI-Based Camera System for Real-Time Biomechanical Monitoring in Upper-Limb Rehabilitation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study evaluates a novel camera-based system designed to support remote rehabilitation by measuring hand and upper-limb biomechanics in real time. Many patients recovering from musculoskeletal or neurological conditions require frequent monitoring during rehabilitation, but regular clinic visits may be difficult due to distance, cost, or limited access to specialized care. Current telehealth approaches typically rely on qualitative assessments or self-reported feedback rather than objective biomechanical measurements. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a computer vision-based system can accurately estimate biomechanical parameters such as joint angles, range of motion, muscle force, and joint torque using only a standard camera. The system analyzes hand movement using artificial intelligence and biomechanical modeling to provide real-time measurements during rehabilitation exercises. Participants will perform guided hand-movement tasks while the system records video and extracts anatomical landmarks. These data will be used to compute biomechanical parameters and assess whether the system can reliably monitor rehabilitation progress remotely. The results will help determine whether this technology can provide clinicians with objective, continuous data to support personalized rehabilitation and improve patient outcomes.
