Abstract

An interactive rehabilitation method for movement of upper and lower extremities is disclosed. An identification label of an extracted image is detected to provide an operating position of an image of an extremity. A movement mode for a target image is determined according to the identification label and the target image is displayed in a scene. It is determined whether identification labels corresponding to movement of an extremity of the target image are being continuously obtained, and, if so, the performance of the movement of the extremity is led based on operational guidance. A feedback operation is provided according to the movement of the extremity, preset movement paths and velocities, and targeted positions of the target image. It is determined whether the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions, and, if so, the performance of the movement of the extremity is graded.

 providing path characteristics of a target image;   extracting a movement of an extremity from an extraction device;   enabling the movement of the extremity to interact with the target image in a scene; and   immediately adjusting interaction states between the movement of the extremity and the target image according to the path characteristics.   
   
   
       2 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising providing a feedback operation according to the interaction states between the movement of the extremity and the target image. 
   
   
       3 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising leading the movement of the extremity based on operational guidance according to preset parameters corresponding to the target image to lead the movement of the extremity to interact with the target image and providing a score according to interactive similarity. 
   
   
       4 . An interactive rehabilitation method, comprising:
 detecting an identification label of an extracted image to provide an operating position of an image of an extremity;   determining a movement mode for a target image according to the identification label;   displaying the target image in a scene;   determining whether identification labels corresponding to movement of the extremity of the target image are being continuously obtained;   if the identification labels are being continuously obtained, leading the movement of the extremity based on operational guidance;   providing a feedback operation according to the movement of the extremity, preset movement paths and velocities and targeted positions of the target image;   determining whether the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions; and   the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions, grading the performance of the movement of the extremity.   
   
   
       5 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising, when plural target images are provided, determining movement modes of the target images and appearance sequences of each target image according to the identification label. 
   
   
       6 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising, if the identification labels are being continuously obtained, leading the movement of the extremity based on the operational guidance, the preset movement paths and velocities and the targeted positions of the target image corresponding to the target image. 
   
   
       7 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising grading the performance of the movement of the extremity according to similarity between the movement of the extremity and the target image. 
   
   
       8 . An interactive rehabilitation system, comprising:
 a hand position monitoring module, detecting an identification label of an extracted image to provide an operating position of an image of an extremity;   a target image movement control module, determining a movement mode for a target image according to the identification label, displaying the target image in a scene, determining whether identification labels corresponding to movement of an extremity of the target image are being continuously obtained, and, if the identification labels are being continuously obtained, leading the movement of the extremity based on operational guidance;   an image feedback module, providing a feedback operation according to the movement of the extremity, preset movement paths and velocities and targeted positions of the target image; and   a movement evaluation module, when the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions, grading the performance of the movement of the extremity.   
   
   
       9 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein, when plural target images are provided, the target image movement control module determines movement modes of the target images and appearance sequences of each target image according to the identification label. 
   
   
       10 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein, if the identification labels are being continuously obtained, the target image movement control module leads the movement of the extremity based on the operational guidance, the preset movement paths and velocities and targeted positions of the target image corresponding to the target image. 
   
   
       11 . The interactive rehabilitation method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the movement evaluation module grades the movement of the extremity according to similarity between the movement of the extremity and the target image. 
   
   
       12 . The interactive rehabilitation system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the target image movement control module separately highlights an available skin color area for the movement of the extremity using a skin color detection method. 
   
   
       13 . The interactive rehabilitation system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the target image movement control module extracts available dynamic signals for the movement of the extremity using a frame differential detection method.

       15 . The interactive rehabilitation system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the image feedback module provides the feedback operation according to the preset movement paths and velocities and the targeted positions when the movement of the extremity overlaps the target image or velocity or locus difference therebetween is generated. 
   
   
       16 . A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program providing an interactive rehabilitation method, comprising using a computer to perform the steps of:
 detecting an identification label of an extracted image to provide an operating position of an image of an extremity;   determining a movement mode for a target image according to the identification label;   displaying the target image in a scene;   determining whether identification labels corresponding to movement of an extremity of the target image are being continuously obtained;   if the identification labels are being continuously obtained, leading the movement of the extremity based on operational guidance;   providing a feedback operation according to the movement of the extremity, preset movement paths and velocities and targeted positions of the target image;   determining whether the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions; and   if the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions, grading the performance of the movement of the extremity.
