Scientists from the Southwestern State University (SWSU) have developed lower limb exoskeletons. Thanks to sensors, doctors will be able to determine how the recovery of patients is progressing. Exoskeleton tests are planned to be conducted in the summer.
One of the main tasks is to create a rehabilitation complex that allows you to implement a wide variety of exercises. They allow you to ensure the specified movement of all elements of the lower extremities: foot, lower leg and thigh. The latest developments are aimed at introducing a mobile spine into this complex
According to him, the patient's recovery is faster if the lower extremities and the spinal column are affected. Scientists are working on a rehabilitation complex that will solve these problems.
The exoskeleton is equipped with a feedback system. With its help, the patient controls his efforts. Thanks to this, doctors can in real time track how the recovery is progressing and make changes to the rehabilitation process.
It is possible to select an individual rehabilitation program for each patient, depending on his condition at the moment.
The development consists of 80% Russian components. In the future, it is planned to increase the share of domestic components. The exoskeleton will be tested at the Kirov Military Medical Academy. It is currently being tested.
