Abstract

Training and exercise programs, under the guidance of skilled therapists and trainers, have become important tools during the rehabilitation process. Traditionally, these programs have been difficult to perform at home due to the need for a trainer to observe and provide feedback on body compliance during the performance of exercises. To address this difficulty, we’ve created the SmartGym: an intelligent modification to the Total Gym Pro that monitors an individual’s performance during exercise and provides feedback through haptic, auditory and visual cues. The system is evaluated for effectiveness in a case study involving an individual who is undergoing exercise rehabilitation for Cerebral Palsy.
