Kurzbeschreibung“Rehabilitation” is the (re)integration of an individual with a disability into society. Rehabilitation engineering is “the application of science and technology to ameliorate the handicaps of individuals with disability”. Such handicaps can be classified into motor, sensor, and cognitive disabilities. In general, one can distinguish orthotic and prosthetic methods to overcome these disabilities.
LernzielThe goal of this course is to present classical and new technical principles as well as specific examples applied to compensate or enhance motor deficits. In the 1 h exercise the students will learn how to solve representative problems with computational methods applied to exoprosthetics, wheelchair dynamics, rehabilitation robotics and neuroprosthetics.
InhaltModern methods rely more and more on the application of multi-modal and interactive techniques. Multi-modal means that visual, acoustical, tactile, and kinaesthetic sensor channels are exploited to display information to the patient. Interaction means that the exchange of information and energy occurs bi-directionally between the rehabilitation device and the human being. Thus, the device cooperates with the patient rather than imposing an inflexible strategy (e.g., movement) upon the patient. These principles are recurrent in modern technological tools to support rehabilitation, including prosthesis, orthoses, powered exoskeletons, powered wheelchairs, therapy robots and virtual reality systems.
