项目摘要

The potential broader impact of the Partnerships for Innovation-Technology Translation (PFI-TT) project is to improve the quality of life of more than five million stroke patients who may benefit from the proposed innovation, a robotic system for delivering hand physical therapy. If successful the technology will address one of the most critical and challenging problems in stroke rehabilitation, which is the hand rehabilitation. It is expected that this robotic hand physical therapy system may result in higher functional and motor skills outcomes and shorter lengths of hospital stays. The major outcomes of this work hold potential to improve the rehabilitation outcomes of not only stroke patients but also those with upper extremity neurological and musculoskeletal impairments. Indirectly, the proposed innovation is expected to improve vocational skills and prevent the consequential injuries after a stroke. With mentoring from personnel with business and commercialization experience and the focus on developing a commercialization plan, this project creates a unique opportunity for educating the team in the process of translating basic research into deployed technology. Successful completion of this project will train the next generation of innovators and business leaders. Execution of activities toward broadening participation and outreach contributes to national impact.This project tackles a critical shortcoming of the current treatment options, which is failure to cause meaningful recovery for stroke patients resulting in severe disabilities, especially in hand movement. While robotics is a promising technology for delivering effective therapies, currently there is no robotic system that can sufficiently recover a patient’s full hand movement. This PFI team will prototype and translate a novel robotic system with a unique ability to provide precise assistance to invoke recovery of hand function. The exoskeleton will also collect high-resolution motion and effort data during therapy to provide online and summary feedback to the patients and the therapists. The project will advance the existing ‘lab prototype’ to a ‘field prototype’ that will translate into clinical testing using a control architecture: physical attachment to the subject and a graphical user interface. Successful completion of these activities may lead to implementation of therapeutic protocols that restore movement capabilities after stroke. Importantly, the project will also elucidate appropriate metrics, value proposition, and regulatory/commercialization paths to accelerate translation of the hand therapy robotic system to the end user.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

创新技术转化合作伙伴关系（PFI-TT）项目的潜在更广泛影响是改善500多万中风患者的生活质量，这些患者可能从拟议的创新中受益，这是一种提供手部物理治疗的机器人系统。如果成功，该技术将解决中风康复中最关键和最具挑战性的问题之一，即手部康复。预计这种机器人手物理治疗系统可能会导致更高的功能和运动技能的结果和更短的住院时间。这项工作的主要成果不仅有可能改善中风患者的康复结果，而且有可能改善上肢神经和肌肉骨骼损伤患者的康复结果。间接地，拟议的创新预计将提高职业技能，并防止中风后的间接伤害。该项目由具有商业和商业化经验的人员提供指导，并专注于制定商业化计划，为在将基础研究转化为部署技术的过程中教育团队创造了独特的机会。该项目的成功完成将培养下一代创新者和商业领袖。该项目旨在解决目前治疗方案的一个关键缺陷，即未能为中风患者带来有意义的康复，导致严重残疾，特别是手部运动。虽然机器人技术是一种很有前途的技术，用于提供有效的治疗，但目前还没有机器人系统可以充分恢复患者的全部手部运动。这个PFI团队将原型和翻译一个新的机器人系统，具有独特的能力，提供精确的援助，调用恢复手的功能。外骨骼还将在治疗期间收集高分辨率的运动和努力数据，以向患者和治疗师提供在线和汇总反馈。该项目将把现有的“实验室原型”推进到“现场原型”，并将其转化为使用控制架构的临床测试：与受试者的物理连接和图形用户界面。这些活动的成功完成可能会导致实施治疗方案，恢复中风后的运动能力。重要的是，该项目还将阐明适当的指标，价值主张和监管/商业化路径，以加速手治疗机器人系统向最终用户的转化。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
