Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system and method for facial exercises, for example for use in treatments for rehabilitation of stroke patients. Embodiments disclosed include a facial exercise system (100), comprising: a camera (101); a computer ( 103) connected to the camera (101); and a video display (102) connected to the computer (103), wherein the computer ( 103) is configured to: indicate a facial expression to a user whose face is in view of the camera (101), the facial expression being defined by a combination of facial gestures with an associated target score for each facial gesture; acquire image data from the camera (101); analyse the acquired image data to identify facial gestures of the user's face using a facial recognition algorithm, the facial recognition algorithm producing a score for each identified facial gesture; calculate a score for the facial expression based on a comparison of the score for each identified facial gesture with the target score of the corresponding facial gesture defining the facial expression; and provide the calculated score to the user.
