Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to discuss the use of rehabilitation robotics in non-specialized settings, identify technical, social, and economic bottlenecks, make predictions about technological trends developing from 2012 to 2025, and present findings and investment opportunities for private corporations, stakeholders, and governments in order to assist them in making funding decisions. Epidemiological and demographical changes like aging are leading to a growing service-robot market (rehabilitation devices are part of this domain), which will continue to grow over the next twenty years. The production of rehabilitation devices will increase with the overall market sector. Clinical trials have proven that robotics systems can be used effectively for upper-limb rehabilitation. Supporting the growth of the rehabilitation robotics industry (especially those rehabilitation robots designed for use outside of rehabilitation clinics) could be beneficial to post-stroke subjects in terms of access, intensity, and cost efficiency. The findings of this thesis show that many of the existing rehabilitation devices which help stroke victims regain upper-limb motion are ineffective in nonspecialized settings (like the patient's home) and furthermore, many promising robots have yet to be commercialized. The findings also reveal a gap between the five important stakeholder groups (patients, partners or relatives, paid carers, therapists, and health and social care budget holders) and their needs, such as trade-offs between therapists, systems, and patients. Current rehabilitation devices which are widely accepted for clinical use like the ARMin (Armeo Power of Hocoma) amongst others, are discussed in this paper. Observations and suggestions for a more user-centered design are made for currently available devices, which often fail to provide a 100% ergonomic solution. The research shows that there is a need for user-driven research, outstandi.

Download or read book Rehabilitation Robots for Neurorehabilitation in High Low and Middle Income Countries written by Michelle Jillian Johnson and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rehabilitation Robots for Neurorehabilitation in High, Low, and Middle Income Countries: Current Practice, Barriers, and Future Directions describes the state-of-art research of stroke rehabilitation using robot systems in selected High Income Countries (HICs) and Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), along with potential solutions that enable these technologies to be available to clinicians worldwide, regardless of country and economic status. The book brings together engineers and clinicians, offers insights into healthcare disparities, and highlights potential solutions to facilitate the availability and accessibility of more robot systems to stroke survivors and their clinicians worldwide, regardless of country and economic status.In addition, the book provides examples on how robotic technology is used to bridge rehabilitation gaps in LMICs and describes potential strategies for increasing the expansion of robot-assisted stroke rehabilitation across more LMICs. Provides a global picture of robot-assisted neurorehabilitation Describes stroke healthcare in selected LMICs and selected HICs, along with disparity issues Discusses potential barriers to the penetration of rehabilitation robots into LMICs Presents concrete examples on how clinicians and engineers have begun to address healthcare gaps with rehabilitation robotics and how to deal with accessibility barriers
