Rehabilitation of incomplete spinal cord injury using a neuroprosthesis for walking (original) (raw)
Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37439)
This paper is a technological analysis with fundamentals of the area of mechanical engineering focused on assistive technology. A purpose is to assist the rehabilitation of lower limb gait through physiotherapeutic exercises for patients affected by the incomplete vertebral-medullar injury. The study in question had as its guiding question how to make the structure of the already dimensioned project more effective and to construct a device for the motor rehabilitation of the lower limbs of people affected by incomplete vertebral-medullar injury with a clinical report considered to favor the recovery of gait by physiotherapy? The research occurred through previous studies aimed at an incomplete vertebral-medullar injury. For the preparation of the study, the research methodology aimed at solving a specific problem through the invention/improvement of a product. With the results of the research, we obtained analysis related to the resistance of the 3D software structure that presented a good design, allowing an active construction of the prototype, which follows in the test phases.
