The rehabilitation platform embeds LINarm3 , a variable stiffness robotic device for the rehabilitation of the upper limb.
The use of dedicated computer games guarantee that the subject’s attention is properly gained and maintained throughout the rehabilitation task, in order to ensure adequate motor ability improvements and sufficient engagement. The scenarios continuously adapt to the most appropriate level of difficulty, to ensure the best level of subject’s activity.
The system embeds an unobtrusive physiological measurement system consisting of low-cost sensors measures unobtrusively electrocardiography, skin conductance and peripheral skin temperature.
NMES elicits a response able to support motion in the expected direction through a multi-electrode wearable. The optimal location of stimulation and intensity for each wearable is obtained through a ranking process.
The patient model makes use of the collected sensory information to optimize the parameters of the training task on the basis of the user’s physical and physiological state, and activity.
