“…Although opinions on using contemporary technologies in medicine (rehabilitation) are divided, nowadays they are believed to be of great help if used properly and in compliance with ethical norms. Robotic rehabilitation should be a link between different physiotherapy techniques and relevant fields of rehabilitation which are increasingly accepted, as shown by positive results of numerous studies [37]. The perspective of robotic rehabilitation, which is supported by the results of some studies, includes standardization of therapeutic protocols, simultaneous application of different devices to individualize the therapeutic procedure, and the expected fall in prices as a result of lowering development costs.…”

Introduction. Robots have been used for rehabilitation purposes since the 1960s. The aim of this paper is to present the application of robotics in physical medicine and rehabilitation with special reference to robotic devices used in rehabilitation. Material and Methods. The paper uses literature related to the application of robotics in medicine and rehabilitation. The literature review was conducted using the following databases: Serbian Library Consortium for Coordinated Acquisition, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, Google Scholar, Science Citation Index, and portal of Croatian scientific journals ?Hrcak?. Development of robotics in rehabilitation. Nowadays, there are a great number of different robotic systems for rehabilitation. Robotics in rehabilitation is of utter importance because it works on the principle of neuroplasticity. Robots for lower limb rehabilitation. These robotic systems are most often in the form of exoskeletons. Robots for upper limb rehabilitation. Upper limb rehabilitation robots are therapeutic devices that help or provide support for arm or hand movements. Robot for upper body rehabilitation. Robot ?Tymo?. Conclusion. By using robots in physical medicine and neurorehabilitation, a faster and more complete functional recovery of the patient can be achieved.

“…In sum, robots can enhance quality of life and output, while reducing medical costs [8]. Moreover, robots have been shown to improve patient motivation and thus outcome of rehabilitation [9]. Robotics in medicine is presently classified into surgical, medical, service and rehabilitation categories [4].…”

Introduction. The advancement of technology in the world is more and more evident, as is its implementation in almost all spheres of life, and so is its application in medicine. The use of robotics in medicine has become increasingly important, with a wide scope of application. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine parental attitudes towards the robot-assisted therapy in pediatric (re) habilitation and to assess the degree of parental acceptance and apprehension towards humanoid robots, along with their expectations. Material and Methods. The study included 32 parents of both genders, whose children took part in the treatment using a mobile anthropomorphic robot with cognitive skills, and who completed the Frankenstein Syndrome Questionnaire. Results. The study showed that parental attitudes towards humanoid robots and robot-assisted therapy were positive. Conclusion. In our study, parents showed neutral attitudes and positive expectations of humanoid robots. They have accepted them socially, without negative feelings on the religious and psychosocial levels.
