Experimental virtual exoskeletal environment for neurorehabilitation support

Abstract

This paper deals with the creation of a experimental virtual exoskeletal environment for neurorehabilitation support. In this work, the design of the hierarchical structure of the system was analyzed, as well as the possibility of wireless communication between the individual elements that were physically constructed. A mobile application was also designed and created for setting up and controlling the system using connected sensors for sensing the user and his surroundings but also using connected effectors to display outputs in response to measured values. This experimental platform is used for testing and development of rehabilitation system support based on virtual reality without the physical presence of the patient.
