Summary

Studies suggest that older adults undergoing inpatient rehabilitation have relatively low levels of physical activity. Moreover, people with lower limb orthopedic conditions undergoing inpatient rehabilitation may be particularly vulnerable to the consequences of low physical activity because of the mobility limitations.

The study focuses on examining the feasibility of incorporating robotic system for upper body physical training of people with lower limb orthopedic condition undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Using robotic coaches can be a complementary method to promote the participation and motivation of people with lower limb orthopedic conditions undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.

Aims:

The overall aim of the study is to assess the user experience and feasibility of incorporating robotic system for upper body physical training of people with lower limb orthopedic injury/condition undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Our specific aims are:

1. To assess the acceptability and suitability of the training (i.e., training attendance and engagement; adherence to training protocol; time on task; satisfaction and enjoyment of the training)
2. To document unexpected adverse events during training.
3. To assess the resources and ability to manage and implement the training (i.e., administrative capacity, technology and equipment needs and training).

Interventions

DEVICE

incorporating robotic system for upper body physical training of people with lower limb orthopedic condition

A training session begins with the robot introducing itself, and the participant sits in front of the robot. The robot will demonstrate upper body exercises and will provide verbal instructions and feedback (e.g, number of successful repetitions, motivational). At the beginning of the session, the participant will be asked to follow the robot's demonstration and simultaneously perform the exercise. At the end of each exercise, the robot will provide feedback. If the participant successfully performed ten repetitions of the required exercise in the demonstration time allocated, positive feedback will be provided. Resistance (strengthening) exercises for the upper body include lifting weights, working with resistance bands in different directions involving the upper extremity and trunk. Flexibility exercises include upper extremity and trunk stretching.
