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 - PorfiriRobotic 设备在物理康复中发挥着越来越重要的作用，因为它们能够支持越来越多的治疗治疗、最大限度地减少治疗师的时间投入并记录患者的表现。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度，人们在机器人介导的远程康复方面投入了大量精力，这使得物理治疗师能够同时远程监测和监督多名患者。然而，这些设备的成本和规定练习的重复性极大地阻碍了机器人介导的远程康复的实用性。该项目将通过将治疗与低成本触觉设备和交互式在线公民科学活动相结合，为机器人介导的远程康复的转变开辟新的方向。在设想的范例中，参与者将通过进行治疗方案一部分的活动来为公民科学做出贡献，从而增加花在原本无聊的康复活动上的时间。这种整合不仅有望促进科学研究，还能提高患者的自尊。该研究项目旨在通过积极的科学参与来增强中风患者的上肢机器人介导的远程康复能力。设想的系统包括一个连接到 PC 的低成本触觉操纵杆，可在公民科学研究项目中提供在线社交互动。患者将通过分析纽约布鲁克林受污染运河中水生移动机器人获取的图像，同时与其他患者在线互动，为研究团队开发的环境监测公民科学项目做出贡献。通过利用患者对科学和环境的动机和兴趣，所提出的方法旨在最大限度地保留和努力康复。该分析将使用触觉操纵杆进行，该操纵杆向患者提供力反馈，同时记录上肢康复的显着康复表现指数。该系统将通过一系列实验研究在健康受试者和接受中风后偏瘫康复的患者身上进行测试，阐明力反馈和社交互动对患者表现和满意度的综合影响。
