The analysis of bio-signals and sensors for robotic assisted rehabilitation

The paper presents some considerations on the development of an external system of sensors for post-stroke robotic assisted rehabilitation. A conceptual integrated system which places the patient as an active component is proposed. A set of bio-signals and the corresponding sensors are described to use the data as real-time information during rehabilitation exercises. A novel robotic system is presented for bed confined patients with its kinematic structure and workspace generation for medically relevant motions along with the positioning of the system of external sensors. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
