| Summary: | Patients who experience paralysis of their movement organs, such as
post-stroke patients, need regular rehabilitation so that their ability to move can
return. Rehabilitation is usually carried out in a hospital or rehabilitation center
with the help of a doctor or therapist. However, this is a problem for patients who
have limitations, such as limited rehabilitation locations, transportation, therapy,
assistance, or costs. In one of the Biomechanics Laboratory studies at the
Bandung Institute of Technology, a home-based lower extremity rehabilitation
tool called the Rehab-bot machine was developed. In this research, a redesign
was carried out to overcome the problems found in the Rehab-bot machine..
The research began with observing the prototype to determine
development parameters and design parameters. Based on the evaluation results,
product development focuses on increasing comfort, functional aspects, and
suitability of the range of motion of the trunk and legs. Then tests were carried
out on comfort, functional aspects, and suitability of the angular range of
movement of the trunk and legs using the optical motion capture (MoCap)
method.
The final results of the research will contain a questionnaire for users of
the Rehab-bot machine which shows that patient comfort aspects are met,
calculation analysis, simulation and testing using the MoCap method to see the
achievement of functional aspects and the achievement of harmony in the range
of motion of the trunk and legs. |
