In the field of physiotherapy, the recognition of the poses of the human body is obtaining more research so that the patient has an accelerated recovery rate in his rehabilitation. Nowadays, it is not so challenging to have devices like Microsoft Kinect that allow us to interact with the user for the recognition of poses and body gestures. The objective of this work to capture the data of the joints of a person's body through a set of angles using the Kinect device, then artificial neural networks with the Back-Propagation algorithm were used for machine learning, and their precision was determined. The results found on the performance of the neural network show that 99.70% accuracy was achieved in the classification of the patients' postures, which can be used as an alternative in the rehabilitation therapies of patients with knee injuries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
