Summary

Correct performance of therapeutic lymphatic exercises has the potential to relieve lymphedema symptoms and optimize limb volume and lymph fluid level, in turn to improve breast cancer survivors' quality of life and reduce the risk of lymphedema. Kinect-TOLF (Kinect-Enhanced The-Optimal-Lymph-Flow Training System) is an innovative intelligent Kinect-enhanced training system to teach patients to perform the lymphatic exercises correctly. The Kinect-TOLF training system is not a medical device but a computer/mobile and motion-sensor program that helps patients to perform the lymphatic exercises correctly. The Kinect system can automatically detect whether a user is performing the set of lymphatic exercises correctly in real time and provide instantaneous feedback to the user, thus enhancing patients' self-efficacy to perform the lymphatic exercises correctly. The goal of the proposed project is to evaluate the usability and feasibility of Kinect-TOLF.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer
• Lymphedema

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Kinect-TOLF Training System	This system will teach patients to perform the lymphatic exercises correctly. Like playing the video games, patients follow the avatar model in the video to perform the lymphatic exercises. The Kinect system can automatically detect whether a user is performing the set of lymphatic exercises correctly in real time and provide instantaneous feedback to the user, thus enhancing patients' self-efficacy to perform the lymphatic exercises correctly. Patients will be asked to conduct two types of usability testing: heuristic evaluation and end-user testing.
