Designing a Robotic Exoskeleton for Shoulder Complex Rehabilitation
Frequent and repetitive functional training of the upper limb is a key aspect of regaining independence after stroke. Traditionally, this is achieved through manual one-on-one therapy, but patients are often unable to get sufficient treatment due to budget and scheduling constraints. An ideal solution may be robotic therapy, which is becoming an increasingly viable tool. Unfortunately, current ...
متن کاملA Two Degree – of – Freedom Robotic Exerciser for Rehabilitation
Current therapy exercisers having one degree-of-freedom for rehabilitating single muscle groups are limited; an efficient functional rehabilitation process requires multiple muscles group’s actions within complex movements of the limbs. In this paper an exerciser for active and passive movement of upper limb is proposed. Its structure is based on a five-bar mechanism actuated by two motors. Thi...
متن کاملRehabilitation of Elbow Injuries
Introduction The elbow functions to facilitate positioning of the hand in space; it serves as a mechanical lever through the forearm for lifting and as a means of force transmission. Motion at the joint is a combination of flexion extension and pronosupination that facilitates activities of daily living. Trauma to the elbow can be challenging to treat. The anatomy is complex and stability of th...
متن کاملUniversal Exoskeleton Arm Design for Rehabilitation
This paper proposes the design of a 4 DOF exoskeleton robotic arm for rehabilitation. This proposed robot arm can be used easily with either the user’s left or right arm. This robot arm is designed to have low inertia, high stiffness link, and zero backlash transmissions. It supports the patient’s arm during rehabilitation which is a repetitive task and takes a period of time. Each joint of thi...
متن کاملChallenges and Opportunities in Exoskeleton-based Rehabilitation
Robotic systems are increasingly used in rehabilitation to provide high intensity training for patients with motor impairment. The results of controlled trials involving human subjects confirm the effectiveness of robotenhanced methods and prove them to be marginally superior over standard manual therapy in some cases. Although very promising, this line of research is still in its infancy and f...
