The paper presents the clinical assessment of a spherical robotic system for shoulder rehabilitation. Following the initial development of the experimental model of ASPIRE robot as part of a modular robotic system for upper limb rehabilitation, the authors performed a set of clinical trials on 18 patients with different neuro-muscular disorders aiming to assess the clinician and patient acceptance, the medical relevance of the exercises performed, the system reliability and necessary optimizations to improve the overall system efficiency. The initial results are promising showing the medical potential of ASPIRE encouraging the further development of the robotic structure.

Abstract

The paper presents the clinical assessment of a spherical robotic system for shoulder rehabilitation. Following the initial development of the experimental model of ASPIRE robot as part of a modular robotic system for upper limb rehabilitation, the authors performed a set of clinical trials on 18 patients with different neuro-muscular disorders aiming to assess the clinician and patient acceptance, the medical relevance of the exercises performed, the system reliability and necessary optimizations to improve the overall system efficiency. The initial results are promising showing the medical potential of ASPIRE encouraging the further development of the robotic structure.
