New Robotic System Allows Physical Therapists to 'Lend' Movements to Stroke Patients
Exoesqueleto ajuda pacientes com AVC a recuperarem seus movimentos Laboratório de Habilidades Shirley Ryan Recuperar a capacidade de andar é um dos principais objetivos da reabilitação após um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Agora, cientistas desenvolveram um sistema robótico que permite ao fisioterapeuta "emprestar" seus próprios movimentos ao paciente durante a terapia, criando uma espécie de caminhada compartilhada entre os dois. 🤖 A tecnologia foi publicada nesta quarta
Scientists have developed an innovative robotic system, named TEPI (Therapist-Exoskeleton-Patient Interaction), that enables physical therapists to virtually share their movements with patients recovering from strokes. Published in Science Robotics, the system uses lower-body exoskeletons worn by both the therapist and patient, virtually linked by software. This 'shared walking' approach allows therapists to guide patients' movements in real-time, offering precision combined with adaptive therapy. Tests showed stroke patients achieved longer strides and improved range of motion compared to conventional therapy. The system provides tactile feedback to therapists, allowing them to sense and adjust assistance dynamically. Unlike pre-programmed exoskeletons, TEPI empowers therapists to lead the rehabilitation process directly. This technology holds significant promise for enhancing motor function recovery after strokes.
The development of the TEPI robotic system offers a novel approach to stroke rehabilitation, combining robotic precision with therapist expertise for improved patient outcomes.
