CHAMORRO-R, Cristian D.; CAICEDO-D, Gladys  e  GARCIA-M, José I.. Design, development, and implementation of an assistive technology device for shoulder telerehabilitation via the Internet. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2018, vol.85, n.206, pp.95-104. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v85n206.64889.

This study reports the design, development, and validation tests of an assistive technology device for active and passive shoulder telerehabilitation. This application considers range of movement, degrees of freedom, and standard rehabilitation protocols. In addition, it can be operated locally or remotely via the Internet and allows the monitoring of treatment implementation. Its concept was developed using service-oriented architecture, with implementation through web services. Architecture validation was performed with Petri nets to analyze the dynamic performance of the device. This assistive technology device consists of a power unit containing the electronic control, security, and communication cards. This study resulted in an integral rehabilitation system, safe under any eventuality, which can be presented and adapted to the Colombian hospital system. The novelty lies in its safe synchronous operation, allowing treatment traceability and active or passive rehabilitation.

Palavras-chave : assistive technology; active and passive shoulder rehabilitation; telemedicine; service-oriented architecture; web services.
