Bionic Skeleton (AI enabled suit for neurodegenerative rehabilitation) (P-0350) (MFN 8549)

Abstract

According to World Health Organization (WHO), a lot of people suffer from neurodegenerative Parkinson’s disease (PD) worldwide which is one of the categories of paralysis. Although Parkinson’s disease is incurable but specialized therapies and rehabilitation can reduce its effects if they are timely carried out on daily basis. Parkinson’s disease is graded into five stages and the appearance of tremors indicates the early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and if it is not treated well in time, it can lead to complete body paralysis for the complete period of subject’s lifespan. Here, a specialized solution is proposed for the Parkinson Disease patients that contain a wearable tremor measuring and prevention device, which will minimize the effect of tremors through the fast rotation of gyroscope. Apart from this, to facilitate completely paralyzed subjects, the proposed bionic suit reads the muscular electromyography (EMG) signals from which the movement angles are computed, and the respective body part is moved accordingly through servo motor. Through this project, a hope is provided to Parkinson’s disease patients to enjoy their life again to their fullest heart desire
