| | ABSTRACT | | There is a necessity for a consistent framework for the integration of the robotic and assistive technologies for the purposes of the rehabilitation which covers the entire spectrum (preventative, restorative, supportive, palliative rehabilitation) and explores all aspects of the of the recovery process physical, emotional, and mental while allowing for real-time adjustments and flexibility based on the individual patients needs. In this paper we propose a set of tools for a rehabilitation solution that provides personalized care for the patients from the diagnose to the process of active recovery while measuring and evaluating the individuals condition after surgery, injury or a trauma to restore and maximize the previous function. The main objective for implementing the assistive technologies into the physical therapy is to personalize the process of recovery based on the specific requirements of the patients. To achieve this, physical, emotional, and virtual devices are utilized mitigate and improve the physical and emotional challenges for the patients. In parallel with the implementation of the robotic technologies, custom-made 3D printed devices are also introduced and explored. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, a 3-step methodology is applied 1) diagnose of the patient, 2) implementation of the assistive technologies, 3) tracking the progress and making the necessary adjustments to the process and/or the devices. |
