“…In the knee extensor and flexor concentric isokinetic torque analysis, an increase in peak torque for both groups after the intervention was obtained, regardless of the angular velocities adopted. This finding is consonant with the study by Wibelinger et al 20 that compared the effects of conventional physiotherapy with those of virtual reality in relation to the muscle strength of 71 elderly females with knee osteoarthrosis. The elderly females were divided into two groups, using angular velocities similar to those used in the present study and they observed an increase in the peak torque for both groups.…”

“…8 The knee extensor and flexor muscles of the dominant lower limb were submitted to an isometric and concentric dynamometric isokinetic evaluation. This standardization was adopted based on the literature, 8,19,20 which showed the peak torque between lower limbs and found no significant difference between the dominant and non-dominant limbs. Therefore, for the present study, only the dominant lower limb was evaluated.…”

Aging causes a variety of neurological and psychomotor changes, such as decreases in muscle strength, proprioception, balance, and cognition, among other things. Therapeutic exercises help in reducing these deficits and contribute to functional improvement and quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of virtual rehabilitation and exercise therapy on knee torque among the healthy elderly. Method: The subjects were divided randomly into two groups: seven participants performed exercises with virtual rehabilitation composing the Virtual Rehabilitation group (RV) (69.7 ± 5.5 years, 71.8 ± 13.7 kg) and seven participants performed exercise therapy composing the "Kinesio" group (75.4 ± 5.7 years, 64.7 ± 17.2 kg). The torque of the knee extensor and flexor muscles was assessed with the Biodex System 3 isokinetic dynamometer. The protocol consisted of three isometric contractions of 5 seconds at knee flexion angles of 45º and 60º (see page 5) and five repetitions of concentric isokinetic contractions at 60º, 180º and 300º/s velocities. The treatment protocol was conducted for 3 months, with 50 minutes per session, twice a week. In the VR group, two modes of games were used, involving tasks of challenges and interactive feedback of body awareness. The Kinesio group performed the same virtual rehabilitation exercise protocol, but without video game stimulus. The ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis, followed by the post hoc Tukey HDS with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The peak isokinetic concentric and isometric torques of knee extension and flexion were higher after intervention for both groups. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that conventional rehabilitation through exercise, as well as the innovative technique of virtual rehabilitation, are effective to increase extensor and flexor knee torque, which can help to reduce the incidence of falls among the elderly.

“…At present there are various types of treatments for physical rehabilitation, each one of them has its benefits and harms, some authors made comparisons between Conventional Physiotherapy and Wiitherapy (Wibelinger et al, 2013), on the other hand, Vibrotherapy is applied (Rodríguez et al, 2006), and "Electro shock, electromagnetic waves, acupuncture, suction cups, among others" (Colegio profesional de Fisioterapeutas de Andalucía, 2012).…”

The objective of this research work is to design an automatic rehabilitation device in charge of limb therapy in specialized rehabilitation centers. Within the methodology, the quantitative approach was followed, presenting a type of prospective research with a nonexperimental design, for this the design of the device was elaborated in its different stages, which were segmented into electronic design, Adaptive structure and Control interface. For this, different matrices were elaborated to obtain the most important characteristics of the adaptive design. In addition, torque and weight calculations were carried out so that the device can work in optimal conditions. It was concluded in the realization of the design of the control and programming system, the adaptive structure of the same device, the power and control circuits for the electronic part, all this making use of the engineering programs Autodesk Inventor, Proteus, Pic C Compiler. Likewise, the simulation was carried out to ensure the correct functioning of the device. Finally, a stress analysis was performed, obtaining a fairly high safety factor.
