Se ha demostrado que la rehabilitación bilateral asistida ayuda a los pacientes a mejorar su capacidad del miembro parético y promover su recuperación motora tras sufrir un accidente cerebrovascular (ACV), especialmente en las extremidades superiores. La rehabilitación bilateral asistida por robot, basada en el control por EMG, ha sido abordada anteriormente en otros estudios para mejorar la movilidad de la mano, pero faltan soluciones integradas de bajo coste para el control biocooperativo en tiempo real de las plataformas de rehabilitación robótica. Este artículo presenta una solución integrada de EMG en tiempo real de bajo coste, de diseño propio, implementada en la plataforma RobHand (Robot para la Rehabilitación de la Mano), un exoesqueleto que soporta terapias bilaterales basadas en EMG. Se ha desarrollado un control por umbrales basado en EMG para RobHand, que detecta el gesto de la mano sana y lo replica en el exoesqueleto colocado en la mano parética.

“… 4 Evidence from literature shows that exercise tasks which can provide a visual stimulation that can be representative of bio-feedback can be effective platform for rehabilitation. 5 Among the different possibilities, we choose computer-based virtual reality platform as a cheap and user friendly medium of interaction by individuals with balance disorders. Here we choose balance as a target skill since balance is a critical requirement of one's daily living activities and is often adversely affected in patients with stroke.…”

Stroke is one of leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Early detection during golden hour and treatment of individual neurological dysfunction in stroke using easy-to-access biomarkers based on a simple-to-use, cost-effective, clinically-valid screening tool can bring a paradigm shift in healthcare, both urban and rural. In our research we have designed a quantitative automatic home-based oculomotor assessment tool that can play an important complementary role in prognosis of neurological disorders like stroke for the neurologist. Once the patient has been screened for stroke, the next step is to design proper rehabilitation platform to alleviate the disability. In addition to the screening platform, in our research, we work in designing virtual reality based rehabilitation exercise platform that has the potential to deliver visual stimulation and in turn contribute to improving one’s performance.
