Exoskeleton in physiotherapy
The outpatient therapy of people with neurological diseases (e.g. paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, stroke) can be drastically improved with the help of new technologies. With the help of an exoskeleton, a robotic suit, people with paralysis can walk again under the guidance of a physiotherapist, thus reactivating the locomotor system and the entire organism.
Due to the novelty of the technology, this highly efficient gait therapy is still at the beginning of its possibilities. The use of digital technologies makes high-quality, high-resolution, highly complex data available, which can enable much more detailed therapy analyses and thus a detailed description of the quality of movement. This therapy requires scientific competence in the field of multi-sensor fusion as well as in handling (pre-processing, semantic analysis) and interpretation of complex, extensive physiological data in your evaluation.
The aim of the project is to combine the highly complex and highly modular data (different physiological description forms, different devices, data formats, sampling rates), make them comparable and unify them to a holistic therapy analysis.
