Innovative Hilfsmittel für die Rehabilitation und Menschen mit Behinderungen

Zusammenfassung: On the market existing patient-cooperative devices for motion therapy and rehabilitation are very expensive and designed for clinical use only. Compact, low-cost and light-weight assistive devices, fit also for ambulant use, can be realized using novel soft pneumatic actuators of direct rotary type.

Zusammenfassung: We describe theoretical and biomechanical analysis of risk situations in the daily life of amputees. Our aim is to provide an opportunity to develop risk reducing mechanisms for amputees with bone anchored Exoprostheses, with focus on fall situations.

Zusammenfassung: The project aims at the development of a portable system for the upper extremity, that combines joint stabilisation, external power from fluidic actuators with inherent compli-ance, FES and a natural control system that allows the tetra-plegic user to regain independence.

Zusammenfassung: The clinical implementation of bone anchored transcutaneous limb prothesis is still limited due to infections at the side of the pericutaneous passage. Therefore we have designed antimicrobial, but biocompatible polymere surface coatings. First results of in vitro and in vivo experiments are presented.
