REST: A REmote Skeleton Telerehabilitation System

The system presented in this paper allows rehabilitationRehabilitation and/or physical-motor exercise sessions, usually carried out at the healthcare facility, directly at the home of each patient. The proposed system combines the convenience of performing sessions remotely with a quantitative biomechanical analysis, operated by a system that is guided and supported by an artificial intelligence. Thanks to the help of the latter, the system is not limited to a simple reproduction of the movements but is able to carry out a biomechanical quantitative analysis of these movements, immediately detecting and highlighting any inaccuracies and error. Each patient, using a camera, can carry out a rehabilitationRehabilitation session with a healthcare professional from his home and the latter from home or hospital can follow the patient in real time. The healthcare professional can evaluate the patient through a special graphic interface that shows a reconstructed virtual skeleton of the patient, and all the data detected and calculated by an artificial intelligence can be used for diagnosis and assistance purposes.
