EMU - Arm rehabilitation system

Intended purpose

ArmMotus EMU is a 3D back-drivable upper limb rehabilitation equipment that adopted an innovative cable-driven mechanism, combined with a parallel linkage structure made of lightweight carbon fibre rods to reduce the friction and inertia of the device. This device allows the users to undergo different types of training modes, simulate a variety of daily life activities and induce the maximum active participation of the users through the provision of visual, auditory and tactile feedback to improve the rehabilitation effectiveness. According to the training parameters set by the operator, the PC will send out control instructions, and then the servo motor controls the position, speed, force, etc. of the handle according to the instructions issued by the PC and help the user's upper limb to carry out rehabilitation training. ArmMotus EMU is intended to enable individuals with upper limb impairments to improve muscle strength, ROM (Range of Motion), motor coordination, cognition and ADL (Activities of Daily Living). The ArmMotus EMU is not intended for aggressive use. At no time Fourier Intelligence claims that ArmMotus EMU will heal nor improve any patient’s condition other than provide movement and exercise. Any treatment prescribed using the equipment should be done through a medical practitioner after he has fully tested and approved any of the equipment exercises.
