Sistema de monitoreo para pacientes con tratamientos de tendinosis del tendón rotuliano utilizando Kinect

This work presents the development and analysis of remote monitoring system for patients withkinesiological treatment of patellar tendon tendinosis, which captures the patient’s moves through a depthcapture device (KINECT™). This system allows boththe treating kinesiologist and his patient, to work on a recovery treatment so that the attending kinesiologist, after previous diagnostic consultation, is able to define a protocol of exercises for the patient to be performed at home, assisted by the developed system, which functions allow the patients to correct their movements and generate statistics to determine the degree of progress in the treatment. The statistics generated by the system is available to the kinesiologist within a management. Tests were performed withthe developed system to assess its accuracy withacceptable results. For this, kinesiology students of Universidad de Tarapacá participated voluntarily, contributing withtests that contrasted the system witha traditional technique, so as to measure the progress of patients in kinesiological treatment.
