Orthosis, Design, Cardiopulmonary, Robotic Training Orthosis, Requirements
Robotics has become an important subject to improve life styles for humans with the purpose of rehabilitations in biomedical engineering. There are various symptoms and performance with various targeted users. For example, an orthosis is one of popular medical devices, but the orthosis for paralyzed patients should be designed differently from the orthosis for cardiopulmonary patients. Therefore, biomedical engineers should research the needs, requirements, contraindications, and other factors for specific targeted users. This study is focused on cardiopulmonary patients as targeted users and indicating necessary functions, requirements, contraindications that lead biomedical engineers to design suitable Robotic Training Orthosis (RTO) for cardiopulmonary patients. This paper includes findings, experimental results, technological developments, design devices, and clinical applications of RTO in biomedical engineering field.
