ROBOTIC DEVICE FOR LOWER LIMB FUNCTIONALITY RECOVERY IN BED-BOUND POST-STROKE PATIENTS

摘要

Robotic device for regaining function in the lower limbs of patients confined to bed in the acute post-stroke phase, which comprises a device for supporting and restraining the patient when the latter is lying down (11),- b) a system (14) which provides for movement of the limbs such that the articular travel of the hip, knee and ankle is.similar to that performed when walking, according to the speed. The device further comprises: c) a system of walls (25), suitable for limiting the movements of abduction and adduction of the knees; d) a device (27), capable of preventing the hyperextension of the knees during the therapy cycle. Finally, the device is designed to hold screens and acoustic indicators, to send cognitive stimuli to the patients with the aim of encouraging proper neuromotorial re-education.
