BİR BİLEK ORTEZİ İÇİN PASİF REHABİLİTASYON VE DİRENÇLİ EGZERSİZ UYGULAMA MODLARININ GELİŞTİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Günümüzde gittikçe artan yaşlı nüfusa ve yaşanan kazalara bağımlı olarak kısmi felçli insan sayısı sürekli artmakta olup gün geçtikçe terapistlerin emek, zaman ve maliyet olarak bu külfeti karşılamaları giderek zorlaşmaktadır. Robotik rehabilitasyon ise ev ortamı rahatlığında daha uzun süreli ve düşük maliyetli bir tedavi seçeneği sunmakta olup bu cihazlar yardımıyla tekrarlanabilir, ölçülebilir ve kontrol edilebilir uzuv hareketlerin yaptırılması oldukça kolaydır. Bu çalışmada el bileği rehabilitasyonu için geliştirilmiş olan bir aktif bilek ortezine hem pasif rehabilitasyon hem de dirençli egzersiz uygulamalarının yaptırılması amacıyla iki ayrı denetim modu daha eklenerek bir bilek rehabilitasyonunda ihtiyaç duyulacak tüm gereksinimlerin tek bir cihaz ile karşılanabilmesi sağlanmıştır.

DEVELOPMENT OF PASSIVE REHABILITATION AND RESISTIVE EXERCISE APPLICATION MODES FOR A WRIST ORTHOSIS

Abstract

Nowadays, the number of people with hemiplegia is constantly increasing due to the cumulative elderly population and accidents, henceforth; it is becoming difficult for therapists to meet this burden as labor, time and cost. Robotic rehabilitation provides a longer lasting and cost-effective treatment option in the comfort of home environment, and it is very easy to make repeatable, measurable and controllable limb movements with the help of these devices. In this study, two separate control modes were added to an active wrist orthosis developed for wrist rehabilitation in order to perform both passive rehabilitation and resistive exercise applications, therefore; it is ensured that all the requirements that will be needed in a wrist rehabilitation can be met with a single device.
