Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Rehabilitation robotics has a long history but faces slow adoption due to complexity and regulatory hurdles.
  • Integrating industrial robots into healthcare requires adaptable architectures and standardized applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an architecture enabling industrial robot application in healthcare ecosystems.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of using small industrial robots for patient rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an industrial robot (UR3) controlled by SmartHealth software with 2 Degrees of Autonomy (DOA).
  • Collected data using electromyography (EMG) and force sensors at 45 Hz.
  • Performed four shoulder rehabilitation exercises: passive, restricted active-assisted, free active-assisted, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL).

Main Results:

  • Confirmed the viability of the proposed architecture for rehabilitation.
  • Demonstrated the capability of small robots like the UR3 in performing various rehabilitation exercises and ADLs.
  • Identified limitations including restricted Range of Motion (ROM) and cost.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed architecture facilitates the integration of industrial robots into rehabilitation settings.
  • Small robots offer a promising, albeit limited, solution for enhancing patient rehabilitation and daily living activities.
