1. Indications

The remote real-time, motion capture-based neurorehabilitative therapy is indicated for patients with motor and sensory impairments due to conditions affecting the central nervous system. The specific indications include:

• Parkinson’s Disease - A progressive neurological disorder that affects movement control.
• Multiple Sclerosis - A disease that impacts the central nervous system, leading to various physical and cognitive impairments.
• Stroke - A medical condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, resulting in loss of function.
• Spinal Cord Injury - Damage to the spinal cord that can result in loss of motor and sensory function.

2. Procedure

The procedure for remote real-time, motion capture-based neurorehabilitative therapy involves several key steps that ensure effective treatment delivery. These steps include:

• Step 1: Patient Assessment - Initially, the patient's impairments are assessed to determine the specific therapeutic goals. This assessment includes measuring limb function and strength, which will inform the customization of the rehabilitation program.
• Step 2: Selection of Therapeutic Plan - Based on the assessment, the patient selects a therapeutic plan tailored to their needs. This plan outlines the exercises and activities that will be performed during the sessions.
• Step 3: Execution of Exercises - The patient engages in the selected exercises, which are designed to be task-specific and motivating. The motion capture system tracks the patient's movements in real-time, providing immediate feedback to enhance performance.
• Step 4: Data Upload - After completing the session, the data generated from the patient's performance is uploaded to a web-based portal. This data is crucial for ongoing monitoring and adjustment of the therapeutic plan.
• Step 5: Continuous Assessment - The system also provides assessments of limb function and strength, allowing for regular updates to the rehabilitation program based on the patient's progress.

3. Post-Procedure

Post-procedure care for patients undergoing remote real-time, motion capture-based neurorehabilitative therapy includes monitoring the patient's recovery and progress through the web-based portal. The data collected during sessions can be reviewed by healthcare professionals to make necessary adjustments to the therapeutic plan. Patients are encouraged to continue engaging with the system regularly to maximize their rehabilitation outcomes. Follow-up assessments may be scheduled to evaluate improvements in motor and sensory functions, ensuring that the therapy remains aligned with the patient's evolving needs.
