- Abstract:
- One of the main reasons of being unable in doing routine jobs is the disability to attain and keep balance. This ability can be restored using rehabilitation techniques. A physiotherapist can be very helpful. This approach, however, apart from being very time consuming and expensive, needs quite a few physiotherapists. The physiotherapist will be prone to physical damages as well. This leads to improving therapy methods which do not require a physiotherapist. Using the rehabilitation balance devices can help solve the problem to some extents. If good device with reliable value system be developed, this device can be used without physiotherapist.
This project has been carried out to build an apparatus for rehabilitation and assessment a person’s balance in the absence of the physiotherapist. This apparatus can produce the active rotational perturbation both Medial/Lateral and Anterior/Posterior directions at the same time. Also a force plate will be used to determine the center of pressure of the patient real-time, which will be displayed as a visual feedback to him/her.
During this project, by considering the requirements and available facilities, the first phase was to design the working mechanism of the apparatus. Then this mechanical design optimized for use in the project and effective mechanical dimensions were selected. The next step was to finalize the detailed design of the device. This phase were comprised of several parts, mechanical part for the design of mechanical components, electrical part for power distribution, electronic part in design and implementation of system for calculation and display of center of pressure and movement programming. Then the device was assembled and its proper function were tested with application on some users.
