Robotic Intervention Summary

Robotic assisted devices accomplish the motor function improvement of the upper limb by repetitious movements consisting of flexion/ extension, pronation/ supination, and abduction/ adduction of shoulder, elbow, wrist and digits. More specifically, repetitive goal directed forward reaching movements are commonly utilized intervention when involving the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Variable programmed motion is employed to accomplish this task. The most important advantage of using robot technology in rehabilitation intervention is the ability to deliver high-dose and high intensity training in a highly controlled and reproducible manner (Chang & Kim, 2013). End-effector-type device In one study, researchers used NeReBot in the intervention to determine if using a robotic device in early therapy with poststroke patients (hemiparetic) can minimize the motor impairment and increase motor function in rehabilitation. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Both group received training and therapy from NeReBot with differences in timing and site of training. The control group received 30 minutes twice a week on the robot which was placed on the unaffected arm. The experimental group was exposed to greater training time with the NeReBot which was 4 times a week for a total of 5 weeks. The robot assisted shoulder and elbow …show more content…

(2006) compared the result of using end-effector-type device (MIME) and exoskeleton device (ARM Guide) to conventional therapy. The MIME subjects received training in “reaching” movement with the duration of 50 minutes versus the ARM Guide’s session duration of 45 minutes. Both groups participated in the the same number of sessions (24 sessions) over an 8 week period. Results indicated an improved reach extent with the MIME group but no improvement with the ARM Guide group. The difference in results could be attributed to several factors such as therapy intensity, therapy modes and kinematics of

Igor Spetic is a volunteer at the research center in the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He uses his left hand, which is his own flesh and blood, and his right hand, a plastic metal prosthetic (a consequence of an industrial accident). The prosthetic in his right hand uses the “myoelectric” device which is controlled by flexing his muscles in his right arm. Myoelectric prosthetics serves the purpose of an artificial limb while maintaining the appearance of the limb. Myoelectric prosthetics are different from body-powered prosthetics because body-powered prosthetics uses cables and harnesses strapped to the individual to mechanically and carefully guide the artificial limb through muscle, shoulder, and arm movements.

A company named Braingate has developed a combination of hardware and software to directly sense the neuronal signals in the brain which controls limb movement. This device, with the size of a baby aspirin, when implanted in the brain records the neuronal signals and sends those to a computer, which then converts the signal to digital instruction and performs actions like moving a cursor. In 2006 the first clinical trial was performed on a 25 year old quadriplegic paralyzed person named Matthew Nagle. The trial became a grand success when after some practice Nagle could move and click a computer cursor and even make a robotic arm pick up small things.

Instrumental activity of daily living (IADLS) that affected are driving and community mobility, meal preparation and care of others may also be affected. Rest and sleep may also be affected if the client is in pain and their limited mobility keeps them from become comfortable enough for sleep. Education, work, play, leisure, as well as social participation will be affected by the prosthetic (AOTA,

Sherry Turkle uses knowledge, experience and extensive research to explain the negative effects of technology in her piece “Living Through the Robotic Moment.” She explains that technology is what is slowly taking over, therefore diminishing a lot of human interaction. She challenges her readers to rethink the definition of living when living to some people is their social status. Or your fake life that you created to escape your real one. Turkle argues that technology is causing deterioration in society, and that it is only going to get worse.

Neurologists all over the world are excited to announce that an advancement in brain-controlled prosthetics have encountered a breakthrough. At the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, neurologist have developed prosthetic arms that are controlled by the brain. In recent tests, Les Baugh, from whom lost both arms at the shoulder after an electrical accident as a teenager, reportedly controlled robotic arms with his thoughts, and was able to sense physical sensations. To make this possible scientist injected electrical sensors or electrodes into his brain - 192 needles 1/15 if an inch long. They also remapped the remaining nerves from his missing arms, to allow the brain signals to be sent to the prosthetic.

I spend my observation hours in the training room this week. While in the training room, I learned a lot more about the e stem machine. I learned that e-stem is mainly used to reduce pain as opposed to actually healing the injured body part. The e-stem can also be used to help people recover from surgery. It is crazy thinking about all the resources we have now to help people return from injuries.

PLO Assignment After several viewings of the video “Surgery’s past, present and robotic future” by Catherine Mohr on the TED website I think her main point was the use of robots in surgery and what to expect from them in the future. Using the history of medicine helped show how it has evolved so I could envision how it may change from where we are now. One of the biggest strengths that Catherine uses is educating the audience about the evolution of surgery in general over the past 10,000 years.

In the ARM Guide study, Kahn et al. (2006) used robot-assisted therapy to practice reaching movements with patients who had a stroke. The repetitive reaching motion assisted by the robotic device is an excellent representation of the biomechanical framework in that its ultimate goal is to improve range of motion and muscle strength over time through functional movements. Another example involving robot-assisted therapy is NeReBot training which emphasizes shoulder and elbow motion, specifically flexion/extension, pronation/supination, and abduction/adduction through directional guidance via a robotic device (Masiero et al.,
