摘要:Rehabilitation through physical activities is required to provide disabled individuals with the ability to perform activities of daily life. It redevelops motor skills which promote quality of life and increase level of self-care. To evaluate therapy programs, a therapist is involved in the process to identify whether the patient exercised the required activities through questionnaires and interviews with the patient. However, such involvement is not only time consuming and subjective in nature, but also might lead to inaccurate assessment due to human error. To overcome such limitations and enhance the rehabilitation process, these activities might be detected using activity recognition systems. The objective of this study is to review the literature on upper-limb activity recognition using wearable sensors for able-bodied and disabled populations with more emphasize on the latter. A total of 17 studies were included in the review. The type of recognized activities, approach used to build the model, and the number and health status of the participants were varied across the studies. Although several researches recognize part of the activities used to rehabilitate patients with spinal cord injuries, no one has completely covered these activities.
