Problems solved by technology

[0007] SCI rehabilitation using all mentioned methods can be complex and require extensive training
As a result, health professionals are reluctant to use these methods and instead rely on more time-consuming and less effective hands-on rehabilitation methods

Embodiment Construction

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a rehabilitation system 100 for rehabilitating a person 102 suffering from SCI is provided. System 100 includes exercise equipment 104, which may be in the form of a recumbent cycle or an ergometer, that enables person 102 to exercise. Personal wearable head, neck and body biosensors 106 and 107 (biomechanical and physiological biosensors) are provided for sensing personal information 108 and 109 from person 102 during exercise.

[0035] System 100 also includes a personalized computer model 110 of exercising person 102 on exercise device 104 for receiving sensed personal information 108 and 109 from sensors 106 and 107 and generating electrical stimulation and Actuation assist 112 . Advantageously, the personalized model 110 is used to generate suitable adaptive electrical stimulation for the person 102 and avoid excessive musculoskeletal, cardiac and lung stress and potential bone fractures on the person 102 .

Abstract

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation system for rehabilitating a person with a neurological condition, such as a spinal cord injury (SCI). The system includes exercise equipment for enabling the person to exercise. One or more sensors are provided for sensing information from the person during exercise. The system also includes a model of the exercising person configured to receive the sensed information from the sensors and generate electrical stimulation for the person. Advantageously, the personalized computer model may be used to generate suitable electrical stimulation for the person, and avoid excessive stresses on the person which can lead to the fracturing of bones.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a neurorehabilitation system for a person suffering from an acquired or developmental neurological disorder such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, cerebral palsy or spasticity. A preferred embodiment of the invention will be presented for application to spinal cord injury (SCI). Background technique [0002] The reference to any prior art in this specification is not and should not be regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common general knowledge. [0003] For thousands of years, SCI was considered irreversible. This view is now changing. Recent scientific evidence has shown that thought-controlled rehabilitation robots can restore some voluntary movement in SCI. Further evidence suggests that providing motor sensory feedback can restore damaged spinal pathways. [0004] Other studies have also shown that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord or...
