Medical and technical requirements analysis for upper limb rehabilitation system

Abstract

This paper will introduce the need for upper limb rehabilitation and gives one possible solution with rehabilitation robotics. In addition, it will present the research objectives, medical and technical requirements analysis for an upper limb rehabilitation robotic system. This research attempts to use principles of user-centered design to guide the design of an upper limb rehabilitation system. Designing a usable upper limb rehabilitation robotic system must address the needs of its users.
