Robotic complex for restoring locomotor functions of the hands

Price on request

Description

The domestically produced medical complex was created for the rehabilitation and habilitation of people with impaired motor activity of the hands resulting from strokes, diseases of the central nervous system, and various injuries.

The rehabilitation procedure consists of stimulating the mechanisms of neuroplasticity of the brain, activated by imagining movements through the combination of mechanotherapy technologies and mental training.

During the rehabilitation process, the exoskeleton of the hand, which is part of the complex, makes movements under the control of specialized software based on mental commands received from the patient.

The patient imagines how he makes movements with his right or left hand. Next, an electroencephalograph is used to analyze and “read” information from the brain about the movement imagined by the patient. The encephalograph reads the data and filters incoming signals to eliminate “extraneous noise” and understand the required command: movement with the right or left hand. For its part, specialized software (brain-computer interface) converts electroencephalographic brain signals generated when imagining movement into motor commands to an external device (exoskeleton). As a result, the patient imagines the movement, and the exoskeleton receives the necessary command and compresses or opens the desired hand, giving the patient the feeling of independently performing an imaginary movement (control by the “power of thought”), faith in the ability to control the hand, and restoration of motor skills.

The use of the ORTHESIS-1 medical robotic complex is most effective in rehabilitation 2 months after the onset of a stroke, when neuroplasticity of the brain allows for more efficient restoration of motor activity. At the same time, there are no restrictions on use based on the statute of limitations of the stroke.

The complex is delivered throughout Russia. The delivery time of the complex is 30 days.

The complex fits the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 788n, as well as the federal project “Optimal medical rehabilitation for restoring health”

The principle of operation of the complex

Passive recording of brain activity using several electrodes.
Data transfer to electroencephalograph, transfer via USB.
Signal filtering. Classification of the electroencephalography signal.
Set the desired rotation angle for each brush.
Hand movement based on incoming command from encephalography analysis.

The technology is based on the ability of the cerebral cortex to spontaneous and modulated reorganization of neuronal networks due to neuroplastic processes.

The rehabilitation procedure consists in stimulating the mechanisms of neuroplasticity of the brain, activated by the imagination of movement, in which the exoskeleton of the hand makes movements under the control of the patient`s thought power, implemented through the brain-computer interface.
