NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR ASSISTED BY PC REHABILITATION EVALUATION

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a new technology with application in visual function and body equilibrium prevention and rehabilitation was proposed and developed. It invokes to apply a set of assisted tests to detect any sight or balance diseases for children aged between 4 and 10 years. At this age, such of problems can be yet successfully solved via assisted training exercises as rehabilitation process. The testing invokes to induce some degree of body destabilization, while the subject have to coordinate his hand and eyes to react properly and in time to different light stimulus occurring randomly on a laptop or tablet display. For this reason a dedicated plate was carried out, having the possibility to adapt selectively some special elements for progressive destabilization degrees inducing. For light stimulus, a flexible software interface was developed for different age categories. It has also the role to evaluate the time and property of the person’s reaction to extinguish the stimulus during testing. In actual stage, the test was applied for a child aged 5 years, having small problems in stability and hand – eyes coordination. It was observed that the test was attractive one for the child, being considered as a game. Besides, after about several weeks of training it was demonstrated that the child has a better body posture on the destabilization plate and also better hand-eye coordination. Due to the fact that the developed and proposed technology proved to be efficient one, it will be applied for other persons the above mentioned age range, for prevention and rehabilitation by training.
