Abstract

Therapists usually base the progress of the patients on a daily observation with a global evaluation every six months. This scenario could create a lack of exact and measurable daily data. Measurable data could be very helpful for monitoring patient’s progress and take important decisions regarding the therapy activities. A way to calculate the movement of a human body is through its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy measures the amount of energy spent in a therapy session or activity. The present study calculates the kinetic energy spent by children during movement based learning therapy through a data set captured with a motion sensing input device. Our preliminary results indicate an important impact on kinetic energy during this type of therapy
