Robotics and Tele-Rehabilitation: Recent Advancements, Future Trends
Pages 1 - 13
Abstract
Recently, the use of robots, virtual reality systems and many new technologies has been extensively considered in rehabilitation studies and applications. By the combination of these technologies and new communication systems, a new subfield of rehabilitation known as tele-rehabilitation has been born and is developing widely in the modern world. The presented paper offers a short review of tele-rehabilitation systems with a special focus on upper extremity rehabilitation therapy. Firstly, two main technologies, which are used in these systems, are introduced. These new technologies include rehabilitation robots and virtual reality systems. Afterward, a brief introduction of tele-rehabilitation systems is presented.
