Abstract
Upper limb complications are common following stroke and may be seriously debilitating. There are many treatments and assessments to improve the ability in upper limb movements. Due to the increasing of stroke survivors, specialists in rehabilitation departments usually use Patients Information System (PIS) to store and manage the patient's information and their assessments records. Designing an ontology for PIS is crucial to help the specialists in seeking the patients' information and managing their assessments. In this paper, an Upper Limb Stroke Ontology (ULSOnt) was developed to enable semantic knowledge representation for PIS at rehabilitation department. ULSOnt consists of tangible objects that are listed by the specialists at rehabilitation department of Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). ULSOnt was designed on the basis of Enterprise Ontology, TOronto Virtual Enterprise Ontology, METHONTOLOGY and Ontology Development 101. The logical consistency and model completeness of ULSOnt ontology were verified by ontology experts. ULSOnt ontology offers more flexibility in accessing the patients' information, which means that it can be utilize for designing Intelligent Rehabilitation (IntelliRehab) systems. � 2017 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
