    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Assistive Technology
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Traditional therapeutic and diagnostic methods for physically and mentally handicapped individuals often have limitations.
    • There is a need for engaging and interactive tools to support rehabilitation and assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe novel techniques and systems designed to assist both physically and mentally handicapped individuals.
    • To present the design and testing of T.V. games and exercises tailored for patient use.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a system featuring a central game box with a microprocessor and interchangeable memory cards.
    • Integration of body joint angle transducers (lightpens, potentiometers, joysticks, computer mouse, pressure sensors) with a standard color television.
