In particular, a deep study of exercises that will be reproduce remotely at home without the direct therapist support.
The second step will be consisting of the transformation of the physical exercise in a “rehabilitative exercise” guided by Kinect or Leap Motion.
The last phase will be the analysis of the usability of the exercises developed with a protocol test on healthy subjects.

Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
- Study of rehabilitative exercises with expert therapist
- Development of innovative exercises and evaluation of usability
- Conducting experiments with healthy subjects
