Abstract

In pediatric rehabilitation, this paper introduces a novel approach to traditional Spider-cage therapy. This approach involves the integration of a proof-of-concept sensory system which would provide the therapists with quantitative measurements to assist them in directing the rehabilitation process rather than purely relying on their subjective judgments. This system incorporates an array of Force-Sensitive Resistor (FSR) sensors for weight distribution measurement and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensors to measure pain levels. Through interactive visual and auditory stimulation, the patients are guided to execute a series of exercises seamlessly integrated within an interactive story-line. With a focus on patient-specific and evidence-based decision-making, the initial results show that this comprehensive approach promises to reshape paediatric rehabilitation, fostering adaptability, and minimizing subjectivity while enhancing overall therapeutic outcomes.
