- W1570342968 abstract "[Abstract]: Strokes are a very commonly occuring medical event. In Australia alone around 53,000 people suffer from a stroke each year. A stroke occurs when the normal blood flow to the brain is interrupted causing sections of the brain located around the affected areas to become starvedof oxygen and nutrients. The damage caused to the brain during a stroke can leave the affected person with different types of mental and physical disabilities. It is currently known that the physical disbalilities that can result after a stroke can be overcome by the use of physicaltherapy allowing a stroke victim to continue a normal life.The aim of this project was to design and build a computer based system that could assess and exercise the upper extremities of stroke patients. A literature review revealed that the most successful outcome that has been seen with experimental physical rehabilitation is to combineconstraint induced therapy with robot-aided neuro-rehabilitation.The system that was designed over the course of this project operated within a two dimensional field, therfore only two degrees of freedom were required. The movements of this two link system were measured and logged with the use of two precision potentiometers, one located in each rotational joint. This allows all movements made by the patient to be later recalled to assess progress the patient has made. Improvements would be determined by comparing the path the patient has taken compared to the optimum path between targets.Overall the system had very high precision and was able to obtain the required work area for sufficient exercise to be completed. The GUI developed in coordination with the stroketechnology is simple to use and bug free. The GUI was designed to be very adaptable to the requirements for any user by adding as many functions as possible while still remaining simple.The future work required on this system would include further researching the tracking technology and possibly incorporating a more accurate potentiometer. The system currently offers passive exercise, the addition of other technolgies (e.g. DC motors) has still yet to be introduced to allow active movement. Suggestions of possible technologies and designs to incorporate this function are discussed throughout this dissertation. The GUI software should be further developed to allow automatic improvement calculations to be performed, and displayed in a user friendly manner e.g. percentage of improvement." @default.
