In this paper, an autonomous exercise generation system based of fuzzy logic approach is presented. This work attempts to close a gap in the design of a completely autonomous robotic rehabilitation system that can recommend exercises to patients based on their data, such as shoulder range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, from a pre-set library of exercises. The input parameters are fed into a system that uses Mamdani-style fuzzy logic rules to process them. In medical applications, the rationale behind decision making is a sophisticated process that involves a certain amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. In this instance, a fuzzy-logic-based system emerges as a viable option for dealing with the uncertainty. The system’s rules have been reviewed by a therapist to ensure that it adheres to the relevant healthcare standards. Moreover, the system has been tested with a series of test data and the results obtained ensures the proposed idea’s feasibility.
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.
