"AI-based robotics is getting closer to providing individualized intensive neurorehabilitation."
Abstract presentatie
In recent years, new technologies have emerged to enhance the rehabilitation process and assist in achieving goals. Specifically, several innovative robotic devices with exceptional capabilities- such as high-precision sensing and responsive actuators- have been developed to create more effective rehabilitation programs. Neurorehabilitation robotics is leading to a paradigm shift in the treatment of neurological disorders, as AI-based robotics advances toward providing individualized intensive neurorehabilitation. Addressing costs, accessibility, and ethical challenges will be crucial for realizing the full potential of these innovations.
Over the past fifteen years at the Neuro-Rehabilitation Department of the Mazovian Neuropsychiatry Center, we have developed a robotic rehabilitation system designed for children with cerebral palsy. Robotic therapy is consistently used to complement conventional physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Our center is equipped with numerous modern robotic devices for addressing gait, balance, and upper limb disorders. In the past seven years, we have treated over 1,000 children. In addition to conducting comprehensive diagnostics before setting therapy goals, we assess the effectiveness of treatment in each case using various tests and scales based on the ICF-CY. During the presentation, I will share our approach to robotic rehabilitation and the treatment outcomes of patient groups.
