1 INRS 2009, Zurich, February 2009 The Patient is the Master: How to Control Rehabilitation Robots Robert Riener Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, ETH Zurich & Spinal Cord Injury Center, University Hospital Balgrist, Zurich

2 Robot-Aided Rehabilitation Training Lokomat ARMin

3 The Patient is the Master: Why? Improve Adaptation Adapt task and difficulty to the individual patient Increase Participation Let patient physically and mentally participate Increase Motivation Increase short term patient motivation (engagement) and long term patient motivation (compliance) Increase Training Efficiency and Outcome

4 How to Make the Patient the Master Cooperative Control Enhance physical participation Virtual Reality Incorporate patient into functional tasks Bio-Cooperative Control Control autonomous functions Enhance mental participation

5 Conventional: Patient is Slave Properties Position contoller Given pattern and timing No interactivity Robot is Master, Patient is Slave

6 Patient-Cooperative Control Parameters Position Force Virtual Assistent

7 Patient-Cooperative Control Cooperative Control

8 Path Control Challenge Support patient but do not restrict him Path Control Path: virtual tunnel Patient controls timing of movement Robot applies assistive and corrective torques A. Duschau-Wicke, H. Vallery, L. Lünenburger

9 Path Control Increases Participation Muscle Activity Heart Rate Hf rz Position control Path control * Normalized muscle activity (BF) Relative increase of heart rate Path_a Pos.contr. Path contr.
