Implementeación de una aplicación Web para terapia de rehabilitación virtual enfocada en personas zurdas lesionadas por el uso de un taladro de pedestal

Abstract

Left-handed people represent approximately 15% of the world's population, being a minority group that has had to adapt to the use of objects designed for right-handed people. In the industrial sector, left-handed people must use the non-dominant side of the body to make movements of strength and coordination when using machinery that has not been built for their needs, which can cause them various physical injuries. This paper proposes the implementation of a web platform consisting of two modules. The first one aims to determine the degree of laterality of an individual and the level of risk of physical injury. For this purpose, the Edinburgh test is applied and recommendations are issued that could avoid, a-post, major injuries. The second module implements a virtual rehabilitation routine, which suggests rehabilitation movements for individuals who are discomforted by the use of machinery not suitable for left-handers. This module was developed using Kinect to capture the user's movements, which are read in real time by mini-games.
