| Abstract: |
| Gait related injuries require longterm physiotherapy which is normally performed manually and involve intense effort, instead this can be achieved efficiently through Automated Rehabilitation Systems. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Patients are deprived from both the knowledge and accessibility of such modern-day therapy systems. Our system features low-cost implementation over expensive devices available internationally, allowing economical rehabilitation accessibility to thousands of patients in hospitals all over Pakistan. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| From children to aged adults who suffer from any form of gait disability or injury will benefit from the Automated Rehabilitation system efficiently also ensuring patient safety all over Pakistan with proven results from preliminary studies conducted by Rehabilitation experts all over the world. |
| How will the solution works |
| The proposed system will use Force sensing combined with dynamic feedback control and actuation system to achieve dynamic support capabilities. The proposed system will hold the patient through a custom designed harness that will be suspended from above. The harness will include sensors that will continuously measure the weight support and patient posture. This data will be fed back to the control system moving the harness support vertically to provide constant dynamic weight support. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Based on a study done by large Universities of Pakistan and products available in large hospitals, no similar work has been done in Pakistan yet. Not only is this automated system a first of its kind in Pakistan but low cost implementation will help set up our system in hospitals all over Pakistan. megawin |
