Postural Rehabilitation with Machine Vision

Abstract

In recent years, people's postural health has deteriorated due to the constant and excessive use of technologies such as cell phones and computers, as well as a sedentary lifestyle. These factors have greatly affected the posture and general well being of the population, including both students and workers. The continuous development of technologies has provided valuable tools to the medical area for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases, making these processes less invasive for patients. The aim of this work is to strengthen treatments for the early and preventive correction of postural problems through the use of artificial vision and other technological tools. A system has been developed that helps patients perform postural correction exercises correctly, providing real-time feedback if they are performed incorrectly. Preliminary results indicate that the use of this system significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosis and the effectiveness of postural rehabilitation treatments.
