The Children's Rehabilitation Center Telethon of the State of Mexico (CRIT-EM) provides care to disabled children carriers of neural-muscle-skeletal diseases. The CRIT-EM's medical model includes the use of high technology as a tool for assessment and treatment. The objective of this work is to show how high technology is used in the rehabilitation process. The technologies included are the motion...
Current changes in aging demographics poses new challenges: people require to keep their quality of life even after circumstances that threatened their movement and function. This increases the demand for new physical rehabilitation facilities that go beyond the traditional patient-therapist, one-to-one rehabilitation sessions. Two promising solutions rely on virtual reality and on the development...
This paper presents a method of intelligent perception assist (IPA) with optimum force vector modification for an upper-limb exoskeleton robot to assist the perception of the user to interact with environment in addition to power-assist. The exoskeleton assists not only the motion but also the perception of the user. In the case of perception assist, the exoskeleton assists user to interact with the...
In some stroke rehabilitation programs, robotic systems have been used to aid the patient to train. In this study, a myoelectrically controlled robotic system with 1 degree-of-freedom was developed to assist elbow training in a horizontal plane with intention involvement for people after stroke. The system could provide continuous assistance in extension torque, which was proportional to the amplitude...
For elderly and or physically disabled people who have lost their body functioning of motions due to geriatric disorders, and/or disease processes including trauma, sports injuries, spinal cord injuries, occupational injuries, and strokes, we have been developing a 3 DOF mobile robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation and for assisting motion of elbow and shoulder, since human shoulder and elbow motions...
