Exoskeleton Robot for Functional Rehabilitation
Overview
Disability is a leading cause of difficulty in restoring individuals to their normal lifestyles, particularly in cases where mobility is limited, resulting in a restricted range of activities, even within the home. This can negatively impact an individual's self-confidence. Through the use of exoskeleton robots, individuals with limited lower body strength can regain the ability to stand and engage in a variety of functional training exercises, such as walking, transitioning from sitting to standing, and squatting, including stair navigation. This technology offers significant potential to improve the rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life for patients with mobility impairments.
Features Summary
1.The system is suitable for a diverse range of patient populations, including those with conditions such as
stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's disease.
2.The system utilizes an individualized approach to initiate movement, which is detected by sensors at the hip
and knee joints. The resulting motion data is processed in real-time by an AI system, which provides power
assistance to complete the intended movement.
3.Early intervention involving upright standing practice and functional movement training is recommended to
promote optimal rehabilitation outcomes.
4.The system provides consistent and repetitive training, which enhances brain plasticity and facilitates
motor learning.
5.The incorporation of functional movement training within the system can assist patients in achieving
functional independence and improving their quality of life.
Procedure
Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will undergo comprehensive one-on-one professional assessment and treatment, encompassing evaluation of cognitive function, muscle strength, seated and standing balance, among other parameters. Treatment sessions will be approximately 60 minutes in duration. Based on the assessment findings, the therapist will customize activities that are appropriate for each individual, utilizing the exoskeleton robot to facilitate proper movement patterns. Throughout the treatment process, the therapist will provide tailored guidance and feedback to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Notification
The use of an exoskeleton robot system has certain limitations that require further evaluation by a physician and therapist. The following conditions must be assessed before use:
1.Height restrictions: Individuals must have a height greater than 152cm and less than 190cm.
2.Weight restrictions: Individuals must have a weight less than 113kg.
3.Cognitive impairments: Individuals with cognitive impairments may require further assessment before
using the device.
4.Severe postural hypotension: Individuals with severe postural hypotension may not be suitable candidates
for exoskeleton therapy.
5.Excessive muscle tone: Individuals with excessive muscle tone may require further evaluation before using
the device.
6.Joint limitations: Individuals with restricted or contracture joint angles may not be suitable candidates for
exoskeleton therapy.
7.Trunk stability: Individuals with poor trunk stability may require additional support during exoskeleton use.
8.Lower limb muscle strength: Individuals with weak lower limb muscles may require further assessment
before using the device.
