Therapy task difficulty adjustment is a key factor for increasing patients’ active participation during rehabilitation exercises. In the literature, there are numerous therapy task difficulty selection methods that were applied to increase active participation, aiming to enhance the functional outcomes gained from therapy. In this study, the effectiveness of two different therapy task adjustment methods, namely Crips Adjustment Algorithm (CAA) and Fuzzy Adjustment Algorithm (FAA), was evaluated experimentally with healthy subjects using a patient participation assessment system. The participation assessment system evaluates the subject's performance, tiredness, and slacking during the rehabilitation exercises. In the CAA method, therapy task levels are determined using the direct results of the participant's performance assessed by the system, whereas in the FAA method, task difficulty levels are adjusted by a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) using the therapy performance and tiredness outputs of the participation evaluation system. Experimental findings have shown that evaluating subject performance and tiredness data together via FAA in therapy task difficulty adjustments enhances active participation in rehabilitation exercises.
