Deans' stroke musings: A Novel Center of Mass (CoM) Perception Approach for Lower-Limbs Stroke Rehabilitation

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Abstract

Lower limb rehabilitation robots are of great significance for poststroke patients to regain locomotion ability. However, most rehabilitation robots fail to take the movement of CoM of human body into account. Considering that CoM is an essential index to assess the recovery effect and improve the treatment, we propose a simple, economic, portable, and highly efficient CoM perception approach based on Kinect camera. This novel method is capable of detecting the displacement and rotation of CoM in multi-planes. Results of walking tests show that our approach has competitive performance in capturing the variation trends of CoM compared with multi-cameras motion capture system, especially in some directions with large displacement variation. The high accuracy, simple and low-cost detection of CoM is a major step forward towards practical application in the assessment of rehabilitation after stroke.
