Abstract

In this paper, we implemented the elderly home training contents provide individual exercise prescription according to the user's athletic ability and provide personalized program to the elderly individual. Health promotion is essential for overcoming the low health longevity of senior citizens preparing for aging population. Therefore, the lower body strengthening exercise to prevent falls is crucial to prevent a fall in the number of deaths of senior citizens. In this game model, the elderly are aiming at home training contents that can be found to feel that the elderly are going out of walk and exercising in the natural environment. To achieve this, Kinect extracts a specific bone model provide by the Kinect Sensor to generate the feature vectors and recognizes the movements and motion of the user. The recognition test using the Kinect sensor showed a recognition rate of about 80 to 97%.

본 논문에서 구현한 고령자 홈 트레이닝 콘텐츠는 사용자의 운동 능력에 따라 개인별 운동 처방을 하여 이를 통해 노인 개개인에게 맞춤형 프로그램을 제공한다. 고령화 인구 증가와 대비되는 노인의 낮은 건강 수명을 극복하기 위한 건강 증진은 필수적이다. 따라서 노인의 사망 위험 중 높은 비중을 차지하는 낙상을 예방하기 위한 하체 근력 강화운동이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 노인이 자연환경 속에서 본인이 운동 한다고 느낄 수 있는 홈 트레이닝 콘텐츠 개발을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위해 Kinect 센서를 사용하여 골격 모델의 특징점을 추출하고 특징 벡터를 생성하여 사용자의 운동 횟수를 인식하였다. 제안하는 게임 모델을 사용하여 운동 능력 테스트를 수행하고 이를 기반으로 개인의 능력에 맞는 운동을 처방받아 운동을 수행할 수 있다. 키넥트 센서의 인식 테스트 결과 80%~97%의 정확도를 보였다.
