Solutions on assistive robotics at cester-larm

A
gewell project approaches an open problem in healthcare
for the aging population of Europe, committing to provide
a viable solution of the (sub)acute therapy for stroke patients.
The implementation team aims to deliver a solution that
can be extended towards robotic assisted rehabilitation in
different phases of the post-stroke therapy/rehabilitation as
well as an exercise/training devices for healthy aging of the
elderly population. Some proposed solutions shall be outlined
as referring to LAWEX, ASPIRE, and PaRReX patent pending
designs. The structure of LAWEX is a non-conventional cable-
driven open architecture, which allows accessibility of patients
under treatment. Using wristbands, cables are connected to
the end-effector which covers the limb to be trained. ASPIRE
is a spherical parallel architecture intended for shoulder
assistance as it can perform multiple feasible shoulder motion
ranges. PaRRex can be seen as a wearable exoskeleton with
modular structure, consisting of two parallel modules, one for
the forearm mobilization (elbow flexion) and the pronation/
supination, the second parallel module is designed to mobilize
the wrist (flexion/extension and abduction/adduction).
