Development Of An Intelligent Controller For Robot-Aided Assessment Andtreatment Guidance In Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation, Mehmet Emi̇n Aktan, Erhan Akdoğan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, an intelligent controller was developed for a rehabilitation robot called DIAGNOBOT, which can be used for assessment and treatment in the rehabilitation of wrist and forearm. The controller has a decision support system structure strengthened with conventional statistical methods and databases. The controller uses the patient's biomechanical parameters to make an assessment and proposes a treatment in line with this. In accordance with the recommended treatment, it produces the control parameters, torque, and position information for the control of the rehabilitation robot. The system's ability of assessment and treatment was tested with voluntary patients. Through these test …

Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot For Physical Therapy: Design, Control, And Testing, Erhan Akdoğan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In recent years, the treatment process of patients and disabled people who need rehabilitation and physical medicine has become more effective with the use of new devices and developing technology. The rehabilitation robot is one of the most important developments in new technology. The right therapeutic exercises and the objectivity of the evaluation of the range of motion (ROM; generated torque and muscular activation measurement of the patient) are extremely important factors during treatment. In this study, a lower limb rehabilitation robot was modified and controlled for upper limbs. The retrofitted robot system is able to do passive, active, and …
