Abstract
Continuation of rehabilitation processes is a key element for success. Home-based therapy has become one of the major types of therapy in terms of continuation. Evaluating patients’ progress in home therapy is critical for therapeutics. This study concerns mainly simulating human techniques of evaluation by recruiting available mathematics methods in order to make assessment decisions. A haptic device is embedded with virtual reality scenarios in order to build the upper limb tele-rehabilitation system. The fuzzy logic concept is used in this novel evaluation method to enable us to ensemble both I) data related to the quality of movements and II) data related to the quantity of those movements. Then, calculate the functional enhancement of concerned affected upper limbs by studying the changes of the function motions of those limbs. Finally, provide therapists with objective evaluation to help them judge the rehab process. The evaluation system was used for two children who were using the rehab system.
