A Computational Assessment Model for the Adaptive Level of Rehabilitation Exergames for the Elderly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rehabilitation exergames can engage the elderly in physical activities and help them recover part of their deteriorating capabilities. However, most existing exergames lack measures of how suitable they are to specific individuals. In this paper, we propose the Computational Person-Environment Fit model to evaluate the adaptability of the exergames to each individual elderly user.

متن کاملPrediction of Risk of Falling among Institutionalized Elderly People in Iran
Aging declines abilities and leads to increased risk of falling and subsequently poorer quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify a proper assessment for risk of falling among institutionalized elderly. In order to accomplish this aim, two functional assessment methods, Berg Scale and Tinetti Scale, were used and the validity indices of these methods were calculated. Prospect...
متن کاملComputational intelligence for qualitative coaching diagnostics: Automated assessment of tennis swings to improve performance and safety
Coaching technology, wearables and exergames can provide quantitative feedback based on measured activity, but there is little evidence of qualitative feedback to aid technique improvement. To achieve personalised qualitative feedback, we demonstrated a proof-of-concept prototype combining kinesiology and computational intelligence that could help improving tennis swing technique. Three-dimensi...
