Validation of a Hybrid Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation. A Preliminary Study

Recovery of therapeutic or functional ambulatory capacity in patients with rotator cuff injury is a primary goal of rehabilitation. Wearable powered exoskeletons allow patients to perform repetitive practice with large movements to maximize recovery, even immediately after the acute event. The aim o...

Wearable powered exoskeletons allow patients to perform repetitive practice with large movements to maximize recovery, even immediately after the acute event. The aim of this paper is to describe the usability, acceptability and acceptance of a hybrid exoskeleton for upper-limb passive rehabilitation using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire. This equipment, called ExoFlex, is defined as a hybrid exoskeleton since it is made up of rigid and soft components. The exoskeleton mechanical description is presented along with its control system and the way motion is structured in rehabilitation sessions. Seven patients (six women and one man) have participated in the evaluation of this equipment, which are in the range of 50 to 79 years old. Preliminary evidence of the acceptance and usability by both patients and clinicians are very promising, obtaining an average score of 80.71 in the SUS test, as well as good results in a questionnaire that evaluates the clinicians' perceived usability of ExoFlex.This work has been partially supported by the project “LUXBIT: Lightweight Upper limbs eXosuit for BImanual Task Enhancement” under RTI2018-094346-B-I00 grant, funded by the Spanish “Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades” and the “Programa Propio de I+D+i” of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The Authors would like to thank all patient and clinicians that have been participated in the validation test of the exoskeleton. Also, Aldo wants to thank the CONACYT (Mexico) for the full grant to follow the PhD program at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid with the a CVU number 630799-332912 under the scholarship 472074.Peer reviewedMolecular Diversity Preservation InternationalMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Universidad Politécnica de MadridConsejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (México)Alguacil-Diego, Isabel-María [0000-0002-2054-3622]Cuesta-Gómez, Alicia [0000-0001-9507-2717]Cantalejo-Escobar, David [0000-0001-8328-2231]Sánchez-Urán, Miguel Ángel [0000-0001-6652-0090]Ferre, Manuel [0000-0003-0030-1551]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202120212021info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/257163https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85118363265reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
