Rehabilitation Robotics
Rehabilitation robotics refers to the use of robotic devices to assist individuals in recovering their physical abilities after an injury or illness. These robots can help patients regain strength, mobility, and coordination through guided exercises and repetitive movements. They are often used in physical therapy settings to enhance traditional rehabilitation methods.
These robotic systems can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, providing personalized feedback and support. Examples include exoskeletons and robotic arms that aid in movement. The integration of technology in rehabilitation aims to improve outcomes and accelerate the recovery process for patients with conditions such as stroke or spinal cord injuries.
