Project Summary In stroke rehabilitation, patient engagement in therapy is critical for improving functional outcomes. Robot- assisted rehabilitation can provide repeatable, high-intensity therapy tailored to the needs of the patient, while also decreasing the load on the therapist. The Barrett Upper-Extremity Robotic Trainer (Burt®), an FDA Class-II medical device developed and sold by Barrett Technology, is a robotic system that provides active assistance in three dimensions in a large-human scale workspace and an engaging patient interface to enhance therapy. To enable more individualized treatment and maximize patient engagement while also reducing the burden on the therapist, we are developing SmartAssist™, a real-time adaptive robotic assistance mode for Burt® that encourages the patient to use their own volitional movement as much as possible. In previous work, we developed a functional prototype of the real-time adaptive Burt® system. In this project, we take a user-centered approach to continued development with goals of (1) enhancing the SmartAssist™ control functionality with tuning and new features as requested by users; (2) adding advanced data visualization features to identify areas of difficulty; and (3) conducting a preliminary clinical study to evaluate efficacy in partnership with researchers at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. The deliverables of this work are a fully functional adaptive assistive Burt® system with SmartAssist™ includ- ing several Burt® games using adaptive assistance, an intuitive path specification interface, data visualization to help therapists quickly identify difficult areas and adapt their training plan, and an understanding of how these features can improve patient outcomes. We will also complete a randomised controlled trial, providing us with an understanding of how these features can improve patient outcomes. This will prepare us for potential commer- cialization of the Burt® SmartAssist™ system, making highly individualized training widely available across the U.S. on an affordable and user-friendly platform.

项目摘要 在卒中康复中，患者参与治疗对于改善功能结局至关重要。机器人- 辅助康复可以根据患者的需要提供可重复的高强度治疗， 也减轻了治疗师的负担。Barrett高级机器人训练器（Burt®），FDA II级 由Barrett Technology开发和销售的医疗设备是一种机器人系统， 在大规模的人体工作空间和一个迷人的病人界面，以加强治疗的三维。 实现更个性化的治疗，最大限度地提高患者参与度，同时减轻负担 在治疗师方面，我们正在开发SmartAssist™，这是一种适用于Burt®的实时自适应机器人辅助模式， 鼓励患者尽可能多地使用自己的意志运动。在以前的工作中，我们开发了 实时自适应Burt®系统的功能原型。在这个项目中，我们采取以用户为中心的方法 继续开发，目标是（1）通过调整和新的 （2）增加先进的数据可视化功能，以确定困难领域; 和（3）与Spaulding的研究人员合作进行初步临床研究以评估疗效 康复医院。 这项工作的交付成果是一个功能齐全的自适应辅助Burt®系统与SmartAssist™包括- 使用自适应辅助、直观的路径指定界面、数据可视化功能 帮助治疗师快速确定困难的领域，并调整他们的培训计划，以及了解这些 功能可以改善患者的治疗效果。我们还将完成一项随机对照试验， 了解这些功能如何改善患者的治疗效果。这将为我们准备潜在的商业- Burt® SmartAssist™系统的本地化，使高度个性化的培训在全球范围内广泛应用。 美国在一个负担得起的和用户友好的平台上。
