Home-based upper limb stroke rehabilitation mechatronics: challenges and opportunities

et al. 2023

Interest in home-based stroke rehabilitation mechatronics, which includes both robots and sensor mechanisms, has increased over the past 12 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the existing lack of access to rehabilitation for stroke survivors post-discharge. Home-based stroke rehabilitation devices could improve access to rehabilitation for stroke survivors, but the home environment presents unique challenges compared to clinics. The present study undertakes a scoping review of designs for at-home upper limb stroke rehabilitation mechatronic devices to identify important design principles and areas for improvement. Online databases were used to identify papers published 2010–2021 describing novel rehabilitation device designs, from which 59 publications were selected describing 38 unique designs. The devices were categorized and listed according to their target anatomy, possible therapy tasks, structure, and features. Twenty-two devices targeted proximal (shoulder and elbow) anatomy, 13 targeted distal (wrist and hand) anatomy, and three targeted the whole arm and hand. Devices with a greater number of actuators in the design were more expensive, with a small number of devices using a mix of actuated and unactuated degrees of freedom to target more complex anatomy while reducing the cost. Twenty-six of the device designs did not specify their target users’ function or impairment, nor did they specify a target therapy activity, task, or exercise. Twenty-three of the devices were capable of reaching tasks, 6 of which included grasping capabilities. Compliant structures were the most common approach of including safety features in the design. Only three devices were designed to detect compensation, or undesirable posture, during therapy activities. Six of the 38 device designs mention consulting stakeholders during the design process, only two of which consulted patients specifically. Without stakeholder involvement, these designs risk being disconnected from user needs and rehabilitation best practices. Devices that combine actuated and unactuated degrees of freedom allow a greater variety and complexity of tasks while not significantly increasing their cost. Future home-based upper limb stroke rehabilitation mechatronic designs should provide information on patient posture during task execution, design with specific patient capabilities and needs in mind, and clearly link the features of the design to users’ needs.

“…With respect to upper limb rehabilitation, there are robotic systems that are designed for various purposes and functionalities such as assisting various upper limb movements and rehabilitation of affected upper limbs due to paralysis caused by various conditions. Many robotic systems and frameworks have been developed mainly for the rehabilitation of upper limbs with disabilities caused by paralysis due to stroke and hemiplegia [93][94][95][96]. According to Maciejasz et al [97], there are robotic systems developed to assist the following types of upper limb joint movements-shoulder movements, elbow movements, forearm movements, wrist movements, and finger movements.…”

“…Apart from exoskeleton and end-effector based robots, there are also other forms of implementation with respect to upper-limb rehabilitation robots. Mohamaddan et al [95] developed an upper limb rehabilitation robot for a home setting that uses an armrest and a scissors lift mechanism. Ding et al [98] proposed a robotic arm skate for upper body rehabilitation equipped with a user interface that provides instructions and visual and auditory feedback.…”

At present, most hospitals in China adopt the method of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat elbow joint diseases, such as surgery, cervical traction-natural reduction, fixed-point directional joint dislocation suture [5], [6]. Elbow rehabilitation training methods mainly include physical therapy, exercise therapy and occupational therapy, while there are two main methods to assist elbow rehabilitation training [7], [8].…”

Optimal Layout of Wearable Intelligent Terminal Micro Sensor and Modeling of Elbow Movement Function Rehabilitation

2019

The layout of wearable smart terminal micro sensor and the rehabilitation training of elbow motion function were studied. The wearable wireless sensor network system designed in this paper is mainly used to reflect the motion trajectory of patients in real-time and collect the specific physiological parameters data in the process of exercise rehabilitation. The joint reconstruction of multi-sensor data based on distributed compressed sensing optimizes the layout of smart terminal micro-sensors, and then uses kinematics simulation of elbow joint to design the terminal node of motion rehabilitation monitoring system. The system can monitor physiological information such as electromyography (EMG) signals of patients in real time, process and analyze physiological information of patients in real time, and provide basis for medical workers to formulate and adjust rehabilitation training programs, so as to improve the effect of rehabilitation training.
