Patent ID: 8852129

Claim:
A method of rehabilitating injured patients of hemiplegic injury, comprising: (a) providing a rehabilitation practice task, including: (i) recording movements with motion capture sensors made by a first part of a body of a patient less or not affected by said hemiplegic injury to establish a benchmark of recorded movements captured with the motion capture sensors, wherein said motion capture sensors are placed on said first part of said body of said patient; (ii) recording movements with the motion capture sensors made by a second injured part of the body affected by said hemiplegic injury, where the movements are intended to imitate said movements made by said first part of the body; (iii) comparing said movements by said second part of the body to said benchmark of said first part of the body and assigning and displaying a current score based on their similarity; (iv) outputting real-time feedback, to said patient at home, based on said score to said patient and dynamically displaying the current score relative to a goal based on the benchmark to show minor improvements, where the minor improvements are otherwise not visually observable; and (v) repeating steps (ii), (iii) and (iv) by said patient in an attempt to improve said score so as to rehabilitate the effects of said hemiplegic injury.
