Real Time Gesture Detection Using Kinect in Rehabilitation Therapy for Children with Disability

This study investigates the impact of interactive media with robot-assisted modeling in rehabilitation therapy for children with special needs, specifically cerebral palsy. Current technological advances are used not only for industrial production, research, or learning reason but also for health and therapy reasons. RAC2P, or “ROBOT ASSISTANCE CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY,” is one of the rehabilitative media for children that uses a Kinect camera to display picture data. RAC2P is based on the type of movement system malfunction that children with CP have to achieve the best results while implementing each therapy movement.
