Robots for rehabilitation
نویسنده
چکیده
However, there are significant research challenges in developing and testing rehabilitation robots so that they meet the requirements of end users. The technology must be capable of improving a person’s impaired or allayed function. To do this, robots have to be able to recognise and respond to the complexity of individual human physiology and behaviour so they can mirror established rehabilitative interventions. In other words, robots have to understand how humans work.

A New Intelligent Approach to Patient-cooperative Control of Rehabilitation Robots
This paper presents a new intelligent method to control rehabilitation robots by mainly considering reactions of patient instead of doing a repetitive preprogrammed movement. It generates a general reference trajectory based on different reactions of patient during therapy. Three main reactions has been identified and included in reference trajectory: small variations, force shocks in a single ...
متن کاملState of the Art: Bipedal Robots for Lower Limb Rehabilitation
The bipedal robot is one of the most attractive robots types given its similarity to the locomotion of human beings and its ability to assist people to walk during rehabilitation. This review summarizes the chronological historical development of bipedal robots and introduces some current popular bipedal robots age. Then, the basic theory-stability control and key technology-motion planning of ...

The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of robots for upper limb rehabilitation following strokes in adults. We describe the main robots currently being developed and the results of clinical studies that have been carried out. The association of virtual reality interfaces and the robotic rehabilitation programs providing therapy in the form of games with a view to helping therapists increas...
متن کاملTailor-made rehabilitation approach using multiple types of hybrid assistive limb robots for acute stroke patients: A pilot study.
This article investigated the feasibility of a tailor-made neurorehabilitation approach using multiple types of hybrid assistive limb (HAL) robots for acute stroke patients. We investigated the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent rehabilitation using the HAL robots. The Brunnstrom stage, Barthel index (BI), and functional independence measure (FIM) were evaluated at baseline and when pa...
