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.

Purpose: of this paper is to presents a method of interactive rehabilitation based on a mechatronic system supporting psychomotor rehabilitation of children with lower limbs dysfunction. Design/methodology/approach: The method is grounded on stimulation of senses through image and sound. To achieve this purpose one used modern multimedia solutions in conjunction with an intelligent controlling system. The system controls the degree of the set rehabilitation load as well as measures the child’s concentration. Findings: The proposed method is a kind of contemporary physiotherapy which combines traditional cyclotherapy and stimulation of the child’s intellectual development by means of Glenn Doman’s improvement method or with the use of music therapy depending on the degree of the child’s intellectual development. Therapeutic activities undertaken with the use of the developed equipment may in the case of paresis or paralysis restore the action of the muscles by improving their elasticity or increasing their ability to react to stimulation of the nervous system. Research limitations/implications: The combination of movement therapy with psychological stimulation enables the children to use their abilities more efficiently and speeds up the rehabilitation process. Practical implications: The application of the equipment in question increases efficiency of the therapists’ and parents’ actions, being at the same time a vital element supporting the laborious and painstaking process of rehabilitation of little patients. Originality/value: The method consists in movement therapy combined with simultaneous psychological stimulation of the child.

Purpose: This article presents an innovative approach to the process of rehabilitation of children under 3 years of age. It shows a system supporting the process of rehabilitation based on cyclotherapy. This work presents a method of combining traditional cyclotherapy with stimulation of intellectual development of the child by means of using the Glenn Doman method or music therapy depending on the degree of intellectual development of the child. Rehabilitation will take place in the form of a play with the use of specially designed equipment. Design/methodology/approach: This work reviews selected methods of improving the children’s condition, which methods may be applied in interactive rehabilitation. Findings: The combination of movement-based therapy with mental stimulation will make it possible to use the child’s potential in a more effective way and quicken the process of rehabilitation. Research limitations/implications: In further stages of works it is expected to make a prototype device that can be transferred to a public benefit organization or an organization of a similar nature in order to conduct researches within their own works. Practical implications: The combination of movement therapy with psychological stimulation will exploit, to the maximum extent, natural abilities of brain development in small children. This is enormously important as it is often a factor that conditions the length and, first of all, the quality of life of the patients. Originality/value: The device being developed will include all the most important factors that may affect the physical structure of children and their psyche, which can directly affect the improvement of their health.

Purpose: This article presents the concept of an interactive rehabilitation equipment designed for children under 3 years of age with dysfunction of the lower limbs. Through the use of interactive play-boards and games not only will the children learn faster, but the whole process of rehabilitation will be really fun. Furthermore, the device can be connected to a computer or a special synoptic screen mounted on a special rack. Thanks to an interactive combination of the function of movement rehabilitation with mental stimulation of a child it will be possible to support the development of cognitive functions, cause-effect thinking, stimulation of the senses and to improve coordination and spatial orientation of the young patient. Design/methodology/approach: The novelty of the station is combination of the traditional cycle-therapy with the Glenn Doman improvement method, or with music therapy, depending on the degree of disability of a child. Findings: Combination of the traditional cycle-therapy with music therapy or Glenn Doman’s method in rehabilitation of small patients will help to maximize the children’s activity and their involvement, which at this stage of development is possible only by giving rehabilitation exercises an attractive form of plays and games. Research limitations/implications: FMEA is a very important method which should be employed in companies fPractical implications: The researches from the broadly understood biomechanics that are carried out shall lead to a construction of a rehabilitation device designed for children under the age of three. The proposed device should be very effective in the rehabilitation process, even for the youngest children, and due to its relatively simple modular construction and the possibility of cooperation with many plays and games, it should also be a market success by contributing to the effective rehabilitation of the considerable population of children who require such rehabilitation. Originality/value: The device being developed will include all the most important factors that may affect the physical structure of children and their psyche, which can directly affect the improvement of their health.
