Abstract

Balance measurement is widely used in fields of physiotherapy, neurology, sport medicine and rehabilitation medicine. This paper presents the development of balance measurement and rehabilitation training system. To this end, we have developed a prototype system using an 3-axis accelerometer sensor attached to the under surface of balance board. As a results, the system is stable and shows a good degree of balance function. Also, the various patterns for rehabilitation training can be added easily. This system can be used for daily balance monitoring and will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of training.

평형감각 측정은 물리 치료, 신경, 스포츠 의학 및 재활 의학 분야에서 광범위하게 사용된다. 본 논문은 평형감각 측정 및 재활 훈련 시스템의 개발을 제공한다. 이를 위해, 평형 보드의 아래 표면에 부착된 3축 가속도계 센서를 사용하여 프로토 타입 시스템을 개발하였다. 실험 결과, 시스템은 안정적으로 동작하고 측정자의 평형감각 정도를 잘 나타내었다. 또한 재활 훈련을 위해 다양한 패턴이 용이하게 추가될 수 있다. 이 시스템은 일상적인 평형감각 모니터링에 사용될 수 있으며, 훈련의 효율을 증대하는데 기여할 것이다.
