Abstract
Disability of upper limb parts is common for stroke survivors. Early implementation of well-organized upper limb treatment after stroke may result in fast recovery of upper limb functions. There are many treatments and assessments to improve the ability in upper limb movements. However, the specialists in rehabilitation departments use patient information system (PIS) to store and manage all the patient�s information and assessment records. The information and assessment records of the patients usually are obtained from various categories of assessment but it is inconsistent. This causes difficulties in seeking information, and needs to run all the assessments even those not important for the patients. In this paper, an ontology in the development of PIS will be constructed to overcome the problem. The ontology enables semantic knowledge representation for upper limb stroke rehabilitation. This ontology will be designed based on the Enterprise Ontology, TOronto Virtual Enterprise Ontology, METHONTOLOGY and Ontology Development 101. As a result, the proposed ontology will improve the information management in PIS. � 2018 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved.
