Abstract

Balance control plays a key role in neuromotor rehabilitation after stroke or spinal cord injuries. Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) is a classic tool to assess the status of balance control and to identify potential disorders. In this paper, we present the development of a low cost system and tool for the assessment and training of balance based on static posturography and functional electrical stimulation (FES). The assessment features are built upon a classic a CDP basis, while for training routines, the system uses bioinspired FES patterns and algorithms based on muscle synergies. This system includes low cost technology like the Wii Fit Balance Board and the Kinect. The work described is this paper includes the implementation of the system and first results as a CDP tool.
