The goal is to develop a low-cost reconfigurable patient oriented robotic system for rural China where has the largest incidence of stroke, the highest number of stroke survivors but the poorest stroke rehabilitation service. Utilizing the robotic system, we aim to provide a closed-loop rehabilitation procedure, where the rehabilitation training, disability evaluation and future rehab planning are all executed at stroke survivors’ home environment whilst minimizing therapists’ involvement. Such procedure would reduce demand on therapists’/stroke carers' time whilst simultaneously maximizing the stroke survivor’s sense of intention, ownership, involvement, interaction and achievement of limb movement, with greater likelihood of successful rehabilitation and improved quality of life. This project seeks to gather evidence directly from the key stakeholders in the beneficiary ODA countries (China and Kazakhstan) about what their problems and requirements are. The project aims to establish a multi-disciplinary consortium including experts from rehabilitation robotics, sensing, machine learning, physiotherapy and rehabilitation medicine and to provide low-cost robotic solutions to stroke survivors in remote home and community environments.
