This technology is a wearable, motion-tracking bracelet that provides biofeedback on arm activity for spasticity, range-of-motion and muscular atrophy rehabilitation.
Current upper limb rehabilitation strategies for children with spastic cerebral palsy requires the assistance of a clinician or therapist. This is often difficult to implement outside the clinical setting and, importantly, the child from lacks engagement in therapeutic upper limb movements on their own, which can lead to decreased range of motion and muscular atrophy. There is a need for rehabilitation therapies that can be used at home in the absence of a clinician.
This technology is a wearable bracelet that provides real-time feedback on arm activity for upper limb rehabilitation. It can be used in the absence of a clinician and aims to prevent decreased range of motion and muscular atrophy due to lack of arm movement. The device combines sensors, pattern recognition, machine learning algorithms and LED or haptic feedback with a child-friendly interface to bring upper limb rehabilitation therapies to an at-home setting.
