Abstract :
The SYDACK system of diagnosis and control in kinesitherapy has been developed. It consists of Avatar exercises - a virtual instructor, two sensors for monitoring a subject´s shoulder and hip movement and computer software which combines the information from sensors placed on the subject´s body with the computer. There are two ways to access the data: (1) graphically, as feedback information about the deviation of movement between the subject and the Avatar dispatched to the subject in real time and (2) via numerical data about subject´s postural status and kinesitherapy process, expressed in angles, stored in a database for future processing and analysis
