“…With the increase of postoperative patients, the current shortage of medical resources and professional rehabilitation physicians is obviously not satisfactory, and the medical costs are high [11][12][13]. Thus, more and more attention has been paid to the mode of treatment in the hospital and rehabilitation out of hospitals [14][15][16]. Currently, by using the plantar pressure with current telemedicine, some rehabilitation processes in the hospital can be transferred to communities or families by setting up a powerful information database.…”

Abstract:The traditional postoperative rehabilitation training mode of lower limbs is mostly confined to hospitals or nursing sites. With the increase of postoperative patients, the current shortage of medical resources is obviously not satisfactory, and the medical costs are high, thus it is difficult to apply widely. A new mobile phone application (app) based on plantar pressure analysis is developed to fulfill the requirements of remote postoperative rehabilitation. It is designed, implemented, tested, and used for pilot experiment in conjunction with the system design methodology of the waterfall model. Preliminary testing and a pilot experiment showed that the app has realized basic functions and can achieve patient rehabilitation out of hospitals. The development of the app can shorten the hospitalization time of patients, reduce medical costs, and make up for the current shortage of medical resources. In the future, more experiments will be done to verify the effectiveness of the app.

“…Stability issues still exist for the SWs with more than three wheels and some teams had to add wheels to ensure the stability of their devices (five wheels 31 , six wheels 32,33 and even seven wheels 34,35 ). But generally, these problems seem to be solved and designers take care of distributing the mass and placing the centre of gravity as low as possible.…”

“…Bülher et al 37 propose to extend the support Smart walkers: An application-oriented review polygon when the user wants to stand up. Ye et al 35 maximise the SW footprint during strolling and minimise it only to go through doors. The footprint can also be changed in length in order to improve stability for stand-up motions.…”

SUMMARYIn this paper, a development method for smart walker prototypes is proposed. Development of such prototypes is based on technological choices and device evaluations. The method is aimed at guiding technological choices in a modular fashion. First, the method for choosing modules to be integrated in a smart walker is presented. Application-specific modules are then studied. Finally, the issues of evaluation are investigated. In order to work out this method, more than 50 smart walkers and their pros and cons with respect to the different studied applications are reviewed.
