Abstract: Stroke is the leading cause of disability. This disability leads to increased inactivity and deconditioning. Rehabilitation strategies that are task oriented and intensive can drive cortical reorganization and increase activity levels in people after stroke. Footwear-based physical activities monitor (System) that can reliably differentiate between most common postures and activities. The main goal of this project is to design a wearable device for use with such rehabilitation strategies. The device is based on a combination of system and a sensor and output is visualized using Lab VIEW. Pressure sensor and triple axis accelerometer are placed in the insole of the shoe. The data collected from the sensor is sent to the system via Bluetooth and is processed with the help of a microcontroller. A feedback is sent to the patient, which is in the form of alarm and message. The usage of Lab VIEW is to view the accelerometer graph and pressure which is indicated in the form of LED.
Keywords: Lab VIEW, physical activities monitor, stroke.
