Using RGB-D Sensors to Assess Sitting Balance
Research project supervised by Dr. Jorge Dorribo Camba
My role: design & development of software application
Having good sitting balance is crucial to be able to carry out daily tasks, but common balance assessment tools aren’t accessible for people who can’t stand. I used a programming tool called Processing to build a software system that uses the Microsoft Kinect to track a person’s movements while in a seated position. Occupational therapists can use the data generated by this system to more accurately assess the sitting balance of their clients.
