Rehabilitation database based on haptic signal processing

The growth of the internet brings up new keywords for the information technology, such as cloud computing and big data. The increasing data in the information society has a potential to offer new insight into the real world. On the other hand, the increasing demand for rehabilitation of aged people has resulted in increased demand for physical therapy robots. Therefore, this paper proposes the construction of rehabilitation database extending the concept of medical cloud technologies. We discuss the possibility of establishing a new validation methodology by generating database created using the data collected with rehabilitation equipment. Statistical processing was applied to the data collected using the rehabilitation equipment, for investigating an example of a validation method. The results show that a new knowledge for physical therapy can be extracted through a statistical evaluation with database compiled from quantitative sensor information.
