Abstract

Real-time movement sonification is currently being researched as an intervention for upper-limb rehabilitation for stroke survivors. A system using the Azure Kinect SDK has been developed to empower researchers to investigate this intervention. The presented study shows that users without neurological impairment can identify their own movements through the real-time audio feedback generated through the prototype system.
