WEARABLE ROBOTIC SYSTEM FOR UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION

István VÉR, Alina-Elena VÉR, Silviu Dan MÂNDRU

Abstract


Recovery, due to the large number of affected people, required the development of rehabilitation equipment in close connection with technology, increasing the number of robotic systems. The portable robotic system presented in this paper is an adaptive robotic equipment, which provides a customizable recovery program to the needs and pathology of the patients. After the presentation of the most important constructive-functional characteristics, the choice of actuators is justified and the integration of the EMG, thermotherapy and electrotherapy modules, is described. The use of the equipment is presented in detail, and several specific pathologies are analyzed.
