Robotic management system for limb rehabilitation

Abstract

A robotic management system to control an apparatus that comprises of a mobile-frame, dynamic weight unloading mechanism and lower extremity exoskeleton device is disclosed. The fall safe apparatus receives the input from the doctors, users and therapist and the robotic management system automatically calculates the exercise routine using the robotic management system. An intelligent algorithm, embedded onto a dedicated processor, actuates various motors to execute the prescribed exercises, while the sensors provide dynamic feedback for corrective measures to control the exercise routine.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional application of and claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 16 / 204,836 filed on Nov. 29, 2018. The US application is now allowed. The disclosure is hereby incorporated by this reference in its entirety for all of its teachings.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a robotic management system for limb rehabilitation. More specifically robotic management system that helps regain gait in a human being.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]There are over 10 million persons with locomotion disorders in worldwide, caused by various life changing incidents such as stroke, spinal cord injury, war injuries or other diseases. As a result of loss of the physical mobility, the affected person cannot carry out his desired or even day to day activities with full participation or in worse cases resulting in complete loss of mobility. Further the affected persons are prone to suffer from severe emoti...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is for a system that uses a robotic arm to help with lower limb rehabilitation. The system is controlled by a processor and sensors that detect the patient's movement and effort. Based on that information, the system sends signals to the robotic arm to guide it through an exercise program. This results in a more effective and targeted rehabilitation treatment for patients with lower limb issues. The system can also use artificial intelligence to analyze and recommend the best exercise routines for each patient. The patent also describes a self-propelling mobile frame that follows the patient during rehabilitation exercises. Overall, this system aims to improve the care and treatment for patients with lower limb disorders.

Problems solved by technology

As a result of loss of the physical mobility, the affected person cannot carry out his desired or even day to day activities with full participation or in worse cases resulting in complete loss of mobility.

Further the affected persons are prone to suffer from severe emotional trauma and depression as a result of their condition.

However, these devices have major drawbacks and are limiting their use as both therapeutic as well as a mobility device.

The drawbacks include high dependency on the operating therapist, no automatic assessment for adjustment of the exercise routine and also consecutive change n protocols based on pass history of the patients use and improvements.
