Abstract
A method for the treatment of paralysis caused by injury to the brain. A set of movements by a healthy extremity is recorded and stored in a computer. Movements made by an affected extremity are recorded and compared to the standard provided by the healthy extremity. A score based on the similarity of the movement is reported to the user to aid in tracking progress. A similar system may also be used to detect and track the progress of degenerative diseases by comparing past movements to current movements.
