Beyond the joystick: deep learning games for hand movement recovery

The study confirms the feasibility of using monocular camera-based computer vision for hand rehabilitation. Compared to existing low-cost rehabilitation tools, the proposed system provides an accessible, interactive, and affordable alternative. Integrating gesture recognition with gamified interfaces effectively supports dexterity recovery and motivates users through engaging gameplay. These findings establish a foundation for future development of AI-based rehabilitation platforms using standard camera devices.

Abstract

The study confirms the feasibility of using monocular camera-based computer vision for hand rehabilitation. Compared to existing low-cost rehabilitation tools, the proposed system provides an accessible, interactive, and affordable alternative. Integrating gesture recognition with gamified interfaces effectively supports dexterity recovery and motivates users through engaging gameplay. These findings establish a foundation for future development of AI-based rehabilitation platforms using standard camera devices.
