MODERN REHABILITATION ENGINEERING: DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF WEREABLE AND ASSISTIVE ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

Background

Robotic rehabilitation therapies have emerged as a new technique when aiding people with motor disabilities recover the lost control. Some of its benefits include: being able to perform precise and repetible therapeutic procedures, the therapist physical exercises reduction and the compilation of data to enhance the sessions and evaluate the results of the patients, among others.

In this course, important design and assistive technology evaluation concepts will be presented, based on the speakers experiences and current research results presented in the state of art in this area.

Main Goal

Develop the necessary skills and knowledge for the design and evaluation of wearable and assistance robotic systems.
