A Novel Multimodal Cognitive Interaction for Walker-Assisted Rehabilitation Therapies
This work presents a multimodal cognitive interaction strategy aiming at walker-assisted rehabilitation therapies,with special focus on post-stroke patients. Such interactionstrategy is based on monitoring user’s gait and face orien-tation to command the displacement of the smart walker. Insuch a follow-in-front strategy, the users are able to activelycommand the steering of the walker by changing their faceorientation, while their lower limbs movement affects thewalker’s linear velocity.
This work was presented in 16th IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR 2019), the biannual conference on theoretical and experimental issues in the fields of Rehabilitation Robotics and Neuroscience applied to Healthcare. website
