Design of Rehabilitation Treatment Coach Robot

Abstract

In the rehabilitation treatment for at-home patients, it is not only costly for a patient to hire a professional therapist or personal trainer, but also time consuming for a therapist or trainer to visit all the patients. To improve the situation, we propose the rehabilitation treatment coach robot which helps the patient to do rehabilitation exercises alone. Designed economically with cheap parts, our robot provides multiple functions: rehabilitation program suggestion, rehabilitation posture correction, and emergency detection. A brief plan is presented for data collection and performance evaluation.
