ROBOTIC SYSTEM FOR BILATERAL UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION
Abstract
This paper proposes an original robotic system for bilateral upper limb rehabilitation, targeting patients who have experienced partial or total loss of motor functions. The system employs advanced technologies and appropriate software, providing personalized exercises with real-time adjustment capabilities based on the patient’s progress. The paper includes a comparative analysis of existing equipment, highlighting their advantages and limitations. The proposed solution integrates innovations such as precise motion tracking and a design that supports both symmetrical and asymmetrical movements, making it suitable for both clinical and home-based therapies. The system aims to enhance rehabilitation efficiency, emphasizing device adaptability and accessibility. The conclusions underline the benefits of using such equipment in medical rehabilitation and suggest future directions for expanding its functionalities.
