At the rehabilitation departments of hospitals in Taiwan, it is not unusual that several patients are assigned to one exercise physiologist or physical therapist during the rehabilitation treatment at a clinical room. One-by-one clinical service is not possible; therefore, an exercise physiologist or a physical therapist cannot know how well his or her patients are practicing the assigned exercises...
This study presents a virtual environment with a robot system for multi-joint rehabilitation exercise. This is a new application in the field of rehabilitation medicine and reflects the current trend of using robots in service fields. It is well known that exercise is indispensable for rehabilitation for damaged bones, joints, and muscles. The damaged parts are treated with surgery and/or medicine...
It is well known that exercise is indispensable in the course of rehabilitation for damaged bones, joints, and muscles. The damaged parts are treated with surgery and/or medicine then exercise is prescribed to recover normal function. Though various exercise machines, which control the force and speed of the exercise, are used for reliable exercise, they have common disadvantages in that the exercise...
This system uses the principle of therapeutic exercise in continuous passive motion (CPM) to establish an efficiency estimating system to supply scientific, quantified data as the basis of estimation in treatment. The proposed system can assist doctors in diagnosing and treating patients, decrease therapy duration, and enhance therapeutic efficiency. The proposed system combines an estimating system...
Patient engagement and effort are thought to be important for maximizing the therapeutic benefit of robot-assisted movement exercise after neurologic injury, but little is understood about how the audio-visual feedback presented during training affects engagement and effort. For the study reported here, we hypothesized that visual distraction would decrease engagement during robot-assisted movement...
This paper proposes a method to strengthen specific muscle group of thigh or upper arm using functional effective muscle theory. In the proposal method, the load is set by using the muscular activity pattern and the output force distribution during exercise. The muscular activity pattern and the output force distribution show an activity ratio of each muscle group and maximum output force, respectively,...
