Demonstration of WHI-FIT: a wireless-enabled cycle restorator

Physical rehabilitation has become increasingly important for subjects recovering from treatment in clinics and from disease conditions including stroke [6]. A particularly critical requirement is the support of individuals who suffer from impaired mobility or may be confined to beds, yet must be provided with an assured fitness promotion regimen. We will demonstrate a portable cycle restorator that continuously measures arm and leg cycling activities through an Android-based device in real time. Both cadence and torque can be measured and logged continuously via a wireless interface. Sensor data are stored and relayed to a remote server. This system enables a dramatic cost reduction and increased deployment capability.
