3D Technology helps stroke victims' rehab

Sometimes, simple solutions to problems turn up in unlikely places. Researchers from Sweden are drawing inspiration from the movie industry to improve rehabilitation for stroke patients. Motion capture technology, used by filmmakers to convert people's movements into computer animations, has been enlisted to analyze the everyday movements of stroke patients and help them achieve more from their rehab. Researchers from the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, claim the 3D animations provide a new level of detail about stroke victims' mobility.
