Therapists and trainers often utilize training and exercise programs as a critical step within the rehabilitation process. Due to the inherent danger of injury while performing these exercises, they must often be performed under the supervision of skilled trainers to observe and provide feedback on body compliance during the motion. To address this safety risk, we've developed the Smart-Gym: an intelligent modification to the Total Gym Pro that monitors a user's body during exercise and provides feedback to anticipate non-compliance. The system was built to provide multimodal feedback for various body adjustments in the same way that a trainer would. Results from an initial case study involving an individual undergoing exercise rehabilitation for hemiparetic cerebral palsy are discussed.
