Using AI-Assisted Cameras to Track Hand Exercises in Scleroderma Patients

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a camera-based, AI-supported markerless exercise tracking system on hand functions and psychosocial status in patients with Systemic Scleroderma (SSc), in comparison to a traditional face-to-face, physiotherapist-supervised exercise program. It is hypothesized that the AI-based autonomous telerehabilitation intervention will yield statistically and clinically significant improvements in hand mobility, grip strength, and quality of life in SSc patients, achieving outcomes that are similar or superior to those of traditional in-clinic interventions.
