Abstract

Despite the many technological advancements in exoskeletons for the rehabilitation of lower or upper limbs, there has been limited exploration of their application in treating temporomandibular disorders, a set of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions affecting the masticatory system. By collecting data, implementing assisting and resisting training routines, and encouraging active patient engagement, exoskeletons could provide controlled and individualized exercise with flexibility in time and location to aid in the recovery or improvement of jaw mobility and function. Thus, they might offer a valuable alternative or complement to conservative physiotherapy. In this context, the review aims to draw attention to rehabilitating temporomandibular disorders with the help of exoskeletons by looking at the advantages and opportunities these devices potentially provide. After stating the requirements and resulting scientific challenges in various fields and discussing the state of the art, existing research gaps and deficiencies will be discussed, highlighting areas where further research and development is needed.

外骨骼用于颞下颌疾病的康复:综合综述。
尽管外骨骼在下肢或上肢康复方面取得了许多技术进步,但它们在治疗颞下颌疾病(一组影响咀嚼系统的肌肉骨骼和神经肌肉疾病)方面的应用探索有限。通过收集数据,实施辅助和抵抗训练常规,并鼓励患者积极参与,外骨骼可以提供具有时间和位置灵活性的可控和个性化运动,以帮助恢复或改善颌骨活动和功能。因此,它们可能为保守物理治疗提供有价值的替代或补充。在这种情况下,回顾的目的是通过观察这些设备潜在提供的优势和机会,在外骨骼的帮助下引起人们对颞下颌疾病康复的关注。在陈述了各个领域的要求和由此产生的科学挑战并讨论了最先进的状态之后,将讨论现有的研究差距和不足,突出需要进一步研究和开发的领域。
