The overview of challenges in detecting patients’ hazards during robot-aided remote home motor rehabilitation

Wilk Julia, Falkowski Piotr, Osiak Tomasz

Journal of Automation Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems

2023

Vol. 17, No. 4

17--27

Minimally-supervised home rehabilitation has become an arising technological trend due to the shortages in medical staff. Implementing such requires providing advanced tools for automatic real-time safety monitoring. The paper presents an approach to designing the mentioned safety system based on measurements and modelling the interface between a patient’s musculoskeletal system and a rehabilitation device. The content covers the segmentation of patients regarding their health conditions and assigns them suitable measurement techniques. The defined groups are described by the hazards with which they are most endangered and their causes. Each case is correlated with the appropriate data type that may be used to detect potential risk. Moreover, a concept of using presented knowledge for tracking the safety of bones and soft tissues according to the biomechanical standards is included. The paper forms a set of guidelines for designing safety systems based on measurements for robot-aided home kinesiotherapy. It can be used to select an appropriate approach regarding a specific case; which will decrease costs and increase the accuracy of the designed tools.

The presented paper addresses the problem of defining the design intent for rehabilitation robots. The presented investigation consists of in-depth interviews with professional physiotherapists and questionnaire research involving a survey based on their responses. Twenty-four questions were blocked within four sections – personal questions, therapy process, difficulties during sessions, and future of the rehabilitation. The answers were gathered online from a group of 138 active Polish physiotherapists. They were interpreted to identify actual needs and requirements regarding conventional therapy to be provided with the robotic aid. Analysis of results proves that future motor rehabilitation is expected to focus on task-oriented treatment and accurate assessment of progress. Moreover, this supports that implementing robots and teleinformatics technologies into kinesiotherapy may solve problems such as losing patients’ motivation, the physical tiredness of therapists, or spending time commuting for home rehabilitation. The results can be interpreted for the Polish market and those with a similar economy and cultural code.
