Abstract

In this work an attempt is made for designing a prototype which is a patient training board that uses image processing technique as aid for the rehabilitation process.This project would be used as a substitute for the manual data recording system with an automated system which is user friendly,reduces the work load of the person who are in charge for supervising the patient. Rehabilitation is mainly focuses on individuals that are not in the normal conditions in terms of health such as stroke patients who experiences physical impairments and disabilities.The training boards which represents their working environment would be used in as a treatment for them to improve their reaction and accuracy.During the training process,the supervisor should be very focused and precise in both observing and record the data manually.In certain condition,the user would be left alone during the training session and it would be difficult to identify whether the users complete the training according to the given pattern instruction or not.Motivation behind this work is to try and reduce such deficiency and errors by using technology.Image processing technique is used in proposed work to create a system which would be used to identify the output by detecting the lighted up LEDs on the training board at the end of the training session.The prototype plays its role to determine the accuracy of the training system user as it was designed to be LED pattern system where the LED lights up only when the correct sequence of input was pressed.The detection takes place by using in two methods of image processing which are color detection and also detection using thresholding method.The images are captured using a webcam which is connected to a computer and placed behind the training board.Once the image is captured,the image processing would take place using MATLAB to acquire the data and information which would be then given as an output by GUI.Finally,the output data could be recorded directly from the GUI and be used as the data of the rehabilitation process.
