Abstract
The evolution of technology generates a wide number of devices, which can be useful for different applications. Microsoft-KinectTM is one of these devices and in this study we used its features in order to project and develop solutions for postural rehabilitation. Particularly, we developed a system capable to record biomechanical data and return an audio-visual biofeedback regarding the correct/incorrect body position during rehabilitation treatments. This solution clears the way for cheap and easy manner to improve postural rehabilitation: it ensures good control during rehabilitation exercises and movement's analysis and it increases patients' motivation concerning their psychophysical recovery and progress. © 2013 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
