| description | Individuals with neurological disorders often exhibit altered manual dexterity and muscle weakness in their upper limbs. These motor impairments with tremor lead to severe difficulties in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL). There is a critical need for ADL-focused robotic training that improves individual’s strength when engaging with dexterous ADL tasks. This research introduces a new approach to training ADLs by employing a novel robotic rehabilitation system, Spherical Parallel INstrument for Daily Living Emulation (SPINDLE), which incorporates Virtual Reality (VR) to simulate ADL tasks. The study results present the feasibility of training individuals with movements similar to ADLs while interacting with the SPINDLE. A new game-based robotic training paradigm is suggested to perform ADL tasks at various intensity levels of resistance as needed. The proposed system can facilitate the training of various ADLs requiring 3-dimensional rotational movements by providing optimal resistance and visual feedback. We envision this system can be utilized as a table-top home device by restoring the impaired motor function of individuals with tremor and muscle weakness, guiding to improved ADL performance and quality of life. |
