INTERACTION "Training and monitoring of daily-life physical INTERACTION with the environment after stroke"
The project's mission is to develop and validate an unobtrusive and modular system for monitoring daily life activities and for training of upper and lower extremity motor function in stroke subjects. Persons who suffered a stroke are trained to recover adequate control over their movements with the objective to optimize their daily-life functional performance. Critical is how good they are able to physically interact with the daily-life environment, including handling objects, controlling body balance during functional ambulation and while interacting with the environment.
Continuous daily-life monitoring of the functional activities of stroke survivors in their physical interaction with the environment is essential for optimal guidance of rehabilitation therapy by medical professionals and coaching of the patient. Such performance information cannot be obtained with present monitoring systems.
It is the objective of the INTERACTION project to develop and validate an unobtrusive and modular system for monitoring daily life activities, physical interactions with the environment and for training of upper and lower extremity motor function in stroke subjects.
