CAREER: Aquatic Therapy Assist-Tool Using a Real-Time Underwater Physiological and Musculokinetic Monitoring in Personalized Stroke Rehabilitation

Aquatic therapy is an effective method for stroke rehabilitation, offering reduced pain and risk due to water’s supportive properties. However, current practices rely heavily on therapists’ observations and experience, lacking real-time, data-driven evaluation tools. Monitoring patient movements underwater is limited by the absence of suitable devices, making it difficult to provide personalized, evidence-based treatments. To address this gap, the project proposes developing a quantitative aquatic therapy assist-tool for personalized stroke rehabilitation.
