Abstract

The proposed Electromyography (EMG) and IMU sensor based device for Rehabilitation aid to measure the performance improvement of Hemiparetic patients while displaying the exercise results through Graphic User Interface (GUI). The development of the EMG based rehabilitation device tends to encourage the patients by recording the results and provide 3D Virtual Reality arm to simulate the arm movement during the exercise using IMU sensor.
