Abstract

The paper presents a novel method and conceptual architecture for implementation of fuzzy-classification expert system in the domain of rehabilitation methods for cerebral palsy. The expert system includes two blocks: Fuzzy block utilizing fuzzy algorithms for multi-criteria decision making and Machine learning block based on algorithms for tree classification and KMeans clustering. The proposed solution is designed for facilitation the learning performance of university students as well as for professionals who have to make decisions in the area of cerebral palsy and corresponding rehabilitation methods.
