We propose a novel system that uses wearable wireless sensors (inertial measurement units (IMUs)) and handheld devices (smartphones and tablets) for body motion tracking. The system enables a stroke patient to perform rehabilitation exercises at home, eliminating frequent visits to the hospital. Furthermore, healthcare providers such as therapists and doctors are able to keep track of their patient’s progress by remotely monitoring the rehabilitation activities of the latter. Cloud services are integrated in our system to allow remote monitoring, replace expensive hardware and software licenses needed for data storage.
