Automated Upper Extremity Rehabilitation for Stroke Patients Using a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process
This project aims to develop a real-time system that guides stroke patients during upper extremity rehabilitation. The system automatically modifies exercise parameters to account for the specific needs and abilities of different individuals. The system uses a partially observable Markov decision (POMDP) model of a rehabilitation exercise that can capture this form of customization.
This project is in collaboration with the Intelligent Assistive Technology and Systems Lab, the University of Toronto and Quanser, inc.
