Protocol for results obtained by processing images of a moving person during rehabilitation tasks

Every experiment should result in a protocol reflecting the main elements of the work performed, as well as the results obtained. The present review provides a brief overview of gait types, conditions affecting gait, methods for assessing gait parameters, and the results of applying these data to rehabilitation tasks. Gait parameters are recovered from processing video images of human movement in a known scene. The scene must be specially prepared in order to obtain reproducible results and must be independent of the conditions for capturing video. The parameters of a person’s gait must then be recorded in a file in a way supporting comparison, and this is very important for understanding the influences of rehabilitation conditions on a person’s motor activity. This article presents real results of studies of human movement during several passes through the same scene. The possibility of using this approach in the challenge of rehabilitation is demonstrated.
