1604355 - PorfiriRobotic devices have been playing an increasingly central role in physical rehabilitation due to their capability to support an increasing range of therapeutic treatments, minimize therapist time commitment, and record the performance of patients. To further extend rehabilitation treatments beyond clinical settings and enhance rehabilitation progress, considerable effort has been devoted toward robot-mediated telerehabilitation, which allows a physical therapist to remotely monitor and supervise several patients simultaneously. However, the cost of these devices and the repetitive nature of the prescribed exercises have significantly hampered the practicality of robot-mediated telerehabilitation. This project will open new directions for transforming robot-mediated telerehabilitation, through the integration of therapeutic treatments with low-cost haptic devices and interactive online citizen science activities. In the envisioned paradigm, participants will contribute to citizen science by performing activities that are part of their therapeutic regiment, and consequently increase the time spent on otherwise-boring rehabilitation activities. This integration is expected to not only contribute to scientific research but also increase patient self-esteem. This research program seeks to advance upper limb robot-mediated telerehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke by empowering them through active science participation. The envisioned system comprises a low-cost haptic joystick interfaced to a PC, which affords online social interactions in a citizen science research project. Patients will contribute to an environmental monitoring citizen science project developed by the research team, by analyzing images acquired by an aquatic mobile robot in a polluted canal in Brooklyn, NY, while interacting with other patients online. By harnessing the motivation and interests of patients in science and the environment, the proposed approach aims to maximize retention and efforts towards rehabilitation. The analysis will be performed using a haptic joystick, which provides a force-feedback to the patient while recording salient rehabilitation performance indices for upper limb rehabilitation. The system will be tested on both healthy subjects and patients undergoing rehabilitation for post-stroke hemiparesis through a series of experimental studies that elucidates the combined effects of force feedback and social interactions on patient performance and satisfaction.

1604355 -Porfirirobototic设备在身体康复中越来越核心，因为它们能够支持增加的治疗疗法范围，从而最大程度地减少治疗师的时间承诺并记录患者的表现。为了进一步将康复治疗扩展到临床环境之外并提高康复进展，已大量的努力已致力于机器人介导的远离居民，这使物理治疗师可以同时远程监测和监督几名患者。但是，这些设备的成本以及规定练习的重复性质极大地阻碍了机器人介导的远离居民的实用性。该项目将通过将治疗疗法与低成本触觉设备和互动性在线公民科学活动相结合，为机器人介导的远离居民提供新的方向。在设想的范式中，参与者将通过执行作为其治疗团的一部分的活动为公民科学做出贡献，从而增加在原本无聊的康复活动上花费的时间。预计这种整合不仅有助于科学研究，还可以提高患者的自尊心。该研究计划旨在通过积极的科学参与来赋予他们从中风恢复的患者来推动上肢介导的远离居民。设想的系统包括与PC连接的低成本触觉操纵杆，该操纵杆在公民科学研究项目中提供了在线社交互动。患者将通过研究团队开发的环境监测公民科学项目，通过分析纽约州布鲁克林市污染运河中的水生移动机器人获得的图像，同时与其他在线患者进行互动。通过利用患者在科学和环境中的动力和利益，拟议的方法旨在最大程度地提高保留和康复的努力。该分析将使用触觉操纵杆进行，该操纵杆为患者提供了力量反馈，同时记录了上肢康复的显着康复绩效指数。该系统将通过一系列的实验研究对健康受试者和正在康复后进行康复后进行康复的患者进行测试，这些研究阐明了力量反馈和社交互动对患者表现和满意度的综合影响。
