AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional physical rehabilitation methods using exo-skeletal robots impose prescribed dynamics of healthy joints on impaired joints, leading to out-of-sync movements and potential destabilization of patients due to mismatched speed and range of motion.
Method used
A system with a variable torque motor and processor that provides deficit-adjusted, adaptive assistance by determining adaptive timing and magnitude of robot-applied torque based on sensor data, matching the impaired joint's movement phases and parameters.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively assists impaired joints by synchronizing the robot's torque with the patient's movement, enhancing rehabilitation outcomes and preventing destabilization.
