Robotic-Assisted Ankle Rehabilitation Utilizing Electrical Stimulation and Virtual Reality Training Paradigms

Abstract

This study investigates the ankle rehabilitation systems in great detail, including technical features, clinical considerations, patient-related factors, and economic factors. Using a parameterized method, different parameters were tested to find out how well, efficiently, and easily these systems could be used. It was looked at how technological features like robotic configuration, sensory feedback, and control methods can be used to make rehabilitation more personalized. To make sure the best results for patients, clinical considerations focused on practices based on evidence, safety features, and integration with clinical workflows. To look at the human-centered parts of ankle rehabilitation, things like user experience, adherence, and result measures were looked at. To find out if putting ankle rehabilitation systems into healthcare situations would be financially viable, economic factors like cost-effectiveness, reimbursement, and return on investment were looked at. Numbers were added to give quantitative information about each parameter, which made it easier to do a thorough review of ankle rehabilitation systems. Overall, this study gives important information to doctors, hospital managers, and others involved in improving the outcomes of ankle-related patients by choosing the best rehabilitation programs and making sure they are carried out properly.
