This paper presents an intelligent Kinect and fuzzy inference system based e-rehabilitation system. The Kinect can detect the posture and motion of the patients while the fuzzy inference system can interpret the acquired data on the cognitive level. The system is capable to assess the initial posture and motion ranges of 20 joints. Using angles to describe the motion of the joints, exercise patterns can be developed for each patient. Using the exercise descriptors the fuzzy inference system can track the patient and deliver real-time feedback to maximize the efficiency of the rehabilitation. The first laboratory tests confirm the utility of this system for the initial posture detection, motion range and exercise tracking.
