“…For example, Lewis and Rosie (2012) suggested that the physiotherapist's assistance is important during the initial period of technology use to ensure understanding and appropriate setting of parameters; our findings echo this conclusion. In addition, our study suggested a more critical role for the physiotherapist (e.g., supporting patients' acquisition of self-calibration skills as a part of their awareness of body movement, rather than performing the calibration for them).…”

“…Of the three anchor points, we found C (the comfortable anchor point) was the most critical in facilitating exercise in CP. In contrast to other rehabilitation studies, recalibrating C to the physical and psychological needs of the day rather than according to a schedule of continuous progress (Lewis & Rosie, 2012) was an important aspect of self-management (Pr7) to avoid strain in CP. Both people with CP and physiotherapists agreed that M (i.e., maximum stretch) was not always needed and that encouraging a minimum amount of movement was more important.…”

“…These requirements and strategies differ from those instantiated in technology for physical rehabilitation that are often based on correcting movement by exploiting shift-of-attention mechanisms to facilitate endurance during activity, and maximizing performance by constant challenge (Holden, 2005;Lewis & Rosie, 2012). Physical progress is the only measure of efficacy embedded and driving the design and the form of support provided during physical rehabilitation in CP (Jansen-Kosterink et al, 2013;Schönauer, Pintaric, Kaufmann, Jansen-Kosterink, & Vollenbroek-Hutten, 2011).…”

Chronic (persistent) pain (CP) affects 1 in 10 adults; clinical resources are insufficient, and anxiety about activity restricts lives. Technological aids monitor activity but lack necessary psychological support. This article proposes a new sonification framework, Go-with-the-Flow, informed by physiotherapists and people with CP. The framework proposes articulation of user-defined sonified exercise spaces (SESs) tailored to psychological needs and physical capabilities that enhance body and movement awareness to rebuild confidence in physical activity. A smartphone-based wearable device and a Kinect-based device were designed based on the framework to track movement and breathing and sonify them during physical activity. In control studies conducted to evaluate the sonification strategies, people with CP reported increased performance, motivation, awareness of movement, and relaxation with sound feedback. Home studies, a focus group, and a survey of CP patients conducted at the end of a hospital pain management session provided an in-depth understanding of how different aspects of the SESs and their calibration can facilitate self-directed rehabilitation and how the wearable version of the device can facilitate transfer of gains from exercise to feared or demanding activities in real life. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings on the design of technology for physical rehabilitation

“…13 Further studies have revealed that enhanced motor learning occurs when patients practice a variety of functional tasks [14][15][16][17][18] (such as reaching movements) and receive feedback intermittently (e.g., visual and haptic feedback in virtual reality). 9,[15][16][17][18][20][21][22] Therefore, these key factors of therapy are to be integrated in rehabilitation paradigms, and this can be done through rehabilitation robotics.…”

Development of a whole arm wearable robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation and to assist upper limb movements

et al. 2014

SUMMARYTo assist physically disabled people with impaired upper limb function, we have developed a new 7-DOF exoskeleton-type robot named Motion Assistive Robotic-Exoskeleton for Superior Extremity (ETS-MARSE) to ease daily upper limb movements and to provide effective rehabilitation therapy to the superior extremity. The ETS-MARSE comprises a shoulder motion support part, an elbow and forearm motion support part, and a wrist motion support part. It is designed to be worn on the lateral side of the upper limb in order to provide naturalistic movements of the shoulder (vertical and horizontal flexion/extension and internal/external rotation), elbow (flexion/extension), forearm (pronation/supination), and wrist joint (radial/ulnar deviation and flexion/extension). This paper focuses on the modeling, design, development, and control of the ETS-MARSE. Experiments were carried out with healthy male human subjects in whom trajectory tracking in the form of passive rehabilitation exercises (i.e., pre-programmed trajectories recommended by a therapist/clinician) were carried out. Experimental results show that the ETS-MARSE can efficiently perform passive rehabilitation therapy.
