| dc.description.abstract | A stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, happens when there is an obstruction
of blood flow to a specific region of the brain or when a blood artery in the brain ruptures.
Regardless of the scenario, certain regions of the brain sustain damage or perish. A stroke has the
potential to result in permanent brain damage, chronic disability, or fatality. Every year, a
staggering 15 million individuals globally experience a stroke. Out of these, 5 million individuals
perish and an additional 5 million are left with enduring disabilities, imposing a weighty
responsibility on their families and communities. Within the framework of Constrained Induced
Movement Therapy, this study suggests that utilizing the Modified Ashworth Scale method to
monitor and evaluate gloves for Hand Rehabilitation can enhance assistance and rehabilitation
efforts in a home setting. Baseline data collected can help doctors choose the better treatment for
the patient. Extracts angular velocity data from the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and
displays it in units of radians per second (rad/s) or degrees per second (°/s). Angular velocity
data from the IMU can be used to compute indices or convert data for assessing the degree of
spasticity MAS. The results will be assessed based on the angular velocity levels correlating to
the finger movement on a scale from 0 to 4, with each level indicating varying degrees of
spasticity. Spasticity level can impact the speed and range of finger movement. Elevated muscle
tension can lead to an increase in angular velocity, causing irregular variations in angular
velocity data when performing movements. | en_US |
