Purpose: This study examined the effects of trunk control rehabilitation robot training (TCRRT) on the dynamic balance, lower extremity strength, gait ability and pain for bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Methods: Hemiarthroplasty (n=28) patients participated in this study. The subjects were randomized into two groups: trunk control rehabilitation robot training group and control group. Results: The TCRRT group showed significantly more improvement in the MFRT, MMT, 10MWT, TUG, and VAS compared to that before intervention (p<0.05). In addition, all tests were significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that TCRRT is feasible and effective for improving the dynamic balance, lower extremity strength, gait ability, and pain efficacy after bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Purpose: The emphasis on gait rehabilitation after stroke depends on training support through the lower limbs, balance of body mass over the changing base of support. However, muscle weakness, lack of control of lower limb, and poor balance can interfere with training after stroke. For this case study report, a wearable robot orthosis was applied to stroke patients in order to verify its actual applicability on balance and gait ability in the clinical field. Methods: Two stroke patients participated in the training using the wearable robot orthosis. Wearable robot orthosis provides patient-initiated active assistance contraction during training. Training includes weight shift training, standing up and sitting down, ground walking, and stair up and down Training was applied a total of 20 times, five times a week for 4 weeks, for 30 minutes a day. Gait ability was determined by Stance phase symmetry profile, Swing phase symmetry profile, and velocity using the GAITRite system. Balance ability was measured using the Biodex balance system. Results: Subjects 1, 2 showed improved gait and balance ability with mean individual improvement of 72.4% for velocity, 19.4% for stance phase symmetry profile, 9.6% for swing phase symmetry profile, and 13.6% for balance ability. Conclusion: Training utilizing a wearable robot orthosis can be useful for improvement of the gait and balance ability of stroke patients.

본 논문은 3D프린터와 모터를 활용해 무게와 부피를 줄인 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손의 설계 및 구현에 관한 연구이다. 재활용 웨어러블 로봇은 재활의 효과도 중요하지만, 사용의 간편성 또한 중요하다. 하지만 현재 연구 및 개발된 재활용 외골격 로봇은 부피와 무게가 무겁거나 제자리에서 사용해야 하는 것이 대부분이다. 따라서 착용에 용이하고 사용자에게 중량이 부담되지 않는 웨어러블 로봇이 필요하므로 경량화된 전동식 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손을 제안하였다. 3D프린터를 사용하여 무게와 부피를 줄이고 착용에 용이하도록 설계를 진행하였다. 또한, 휴대성을 높이기 위해 공압 방식이 아닌 모터기반의 전동방식을 채택해 구조를 간단하게 구성하였다. 최종적으로 경량화된 전동식 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손의 실험을 통해 제안한 방식의 효용성을 검토하였다.

Most serious stroke patients have the paralysis on their wrists, and can't use their hands freely. But their wrists can be recovered by rehabilitation exercises. Recently, professional rehabilitation therapeutists help stroke patients exercise their wrists in hospital. But it is difficult for them to rehabilitate their wrists, because the therapeutists are much less than stroke patients in number. Therefore, the wrist twist-exercise rehabilitation robot that can measure the twist force of the patients' wrists is needed and developed. In this paper, the six-axis force/moment sensor was designed appropriately for the robot. As a test result, the interference error of the six-axis force/moment sensor was less than 0.85%. It is thought that the sensor can be used to measure the wrist twist force of the patient.

In this study, the control method of assistive robot was developed for the elderly. The control method of gait-assistant-robot was proposed considering the change of COP (Center of Pelves), BOS (Base of Support) and comparative analysis of the moving velocity for the elderly. We analyzed the movement of COP of the body and its velocity of the elderly equipped with manual walker and gait-assistant-robot. As a result, change in COP was greater from left to right than from anterior to posterior; also, the average velocity of the movement of COP and manual walker for manual walker gait was 0.7(m/s). Therefore, it is necessary to concern more on the left-right balance and synchronization of the velocity of COP.

자폐스펙트럼장애 아동은 시각적 처리, 체계화와 같은 강점을 지니며, 사물 및 기계에 대한 흥미와 관심을 나타낸다. 이 같은 맥락에서 로봇이 자폐스펙트럼장애 아동의 재활에 유용한 것으로 제안되고 있다. 즉 로봇은 자폐스펙트럼장애 아동의 관심을 유발하고, 주의를 집중하게 하고, 단순화된 사회적 자극을 제시하며, 반복적용이 가능하고, 대상에 따른 프로그래밍이 가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자폐스펙트럼장애 아동의 재활을 위한 국내 로봇 관련 연구를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 자폐, 로봇을 키워드로 검색하여 11편의 국내 문헌을 최종 선정하고, 활용 로봇, 로봇 제시자극, 실험절차 및 종속변인에 따라 문헌을 내용 분석하였다.

For safe walking of the people who are blind, walking assistance robot which can detecting and avoiding the obstacle was investigated. The implemented prototype walking assistance robot consists of a obstacle detecting module, a user interface using acoustic signal and a driving module. The obstacle detecting module uses 6 ultrasonic sensors those located at the front part of the robot can perceive the obstacle which is in 3 meter distances and $180^{\circ}$ degrees. It calculates the distance and degree from the obstacle using TOF (time of flight) method and decides the 3-dimensional location of the obstacle. The obstacle information is delivered to the user using acoustic alarm and guide sound. The robot is designed to avoid by itself when the obstacle is detecting and the user only follows it to safe walking. After the designed robot was implemented, driving and obstacle detecting experiments were carried out. The result showed that the designed walking assistance robot will help the people who are blind to walk around safe.
