Title: | Design and implementaion of pelvic motion assistance mechanism | Authors: | Lim, Sze Jie. | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering | Issue Date: | 2012 | Abstract: | This report documents the development of a rehabilitation robot, NaTUre-gaits. This machine provides paraplegic patients with a means of rehabilitation. By providing the necessary postural support, patients are able to relearn their ability to walk without labour intensive efforts by physiotherapists. In conventional rehabilitation processes, patients with walking disabilities would typically subscribe to a regimental training programme at a gait rehabilitation clinic. Multiple physiotherapists are often required to assist the patients in moving their limbs, a highly labour intensive chore. With the onset of technological advancements, rehabilitation robots have become a favourable substitution for human labour. These machines allow patients to achieve a more natural walking gait and undergo effective gait rehabilitation at their own pace. Such systems provide benefits and positive influences for paraplegic patients. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/49723 | Schools: | School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering | Research Centres: | Robotics Research Centre | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
