eHealt distributed software environment for the evaluation of body movements

This paper presents a motion capture system designed to detect and manage body motion, measuring some motion parameters, and providing a graphical reconstruction of the movement. This system can be used by a doctor to record some target body movements, which a patient can execute remotely at home. Such movements are later analyzed by the doctor who evaluates the report using effective metrics or viewing the patient´s performances stored in the exchanged file. The main goal is to achieve a simple index/vote for each exercise, which is used by the patient to improve his performances and by doctor to check the rehabilitation status.
