Abstract

Occupational Therapy is used to help people with Parkinson's disease to continue with their daily tasks as the disease progress. This paper is based on a system for Parkinson's disease patients to give them freehand interaction therapies using the leap motion controller. Leap Motion is an optical sensor specially designed for acquisition of 3D positions and orientations of hands and fingers. The Leap Motion Controller can detect and tracking hands, fingers, and tools in its field of view. In this project, the Leap Motion sensor is used to give hand and finger therapies for Parkinson's patients using serious game application developed using three js. The aim of this project is to track the motion of the fingers of the hand and to exercise the fingers of the hand. Further to track the progress of the patient by giving an analysis of the output. Each patient should use a separate login and it will help to keep the records and analyze to monitor the progression of the Parkinson's patient.
