Robotic System for Upper Limb Rehabilitation

2015
Currently, cerebrovascular diseases are one of the main health problems. Part of the patient’s rehabilitation process, affected by this disease, is manually performed by a physiotherapist, which, due to physical exhaustion, could affect the performance of patient recovery.

Animation of 3D Avatars for Rehabilitation of the Upper Limbs

2011 Third International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications, 2011
The paper presents a 3D Virtual Environment (VE) for neurorehabilitation of the upper limb. Patients move one of their arms trying to simulate concrete daily actions, such as grasping a bottle, opening a door or putting a book on a shelve. They wear a special garment that integrates four inertial sensors providing in real time information on the ...
