Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Collaborative robots (cobots) enable human-robot cooperation in industrial settings.
  • This human-in-loop capability has potential applications in healthcare, particularly in rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel rehabilitation framework utilizing a collaborative robot for upper limb training in neurological patients.
  • To assess the feasibility, user experience, and preliminary efficacy of the robotic system in improving patient coordination.

Main Methods:

  • Development and description of a mechatronic setup for a collaborative robot system.
  • Implementation of a rehabilitation exercise involving guided three-dimensional (3D) trajectories.
  • Preliminary experimental evaluation with 19 volunteers (neurological patients and control subjects).

Main Results:

  • Positive user feedback regarding the training experience, with 52% willing to return and 44% enjoying the exercise.
  • Patients successfully executed the 3D trajectories with a maximum deviation of 16 mm.
  • Low muscular effort was required, with average maximum forces around 50 N.

Conclusions:

  • The collaborative robot framework is a promising tool for upper limb rehabilitation in neurological patients.
  • The system effectively guides patient movements, potentially improving coordination with acceptable physical demands.
  • Further research is warranted to validate these findings in larger patient cohorts.
