Head of research centre:
Professor Lotte N. S. Andreasen Struijk
Participants and partners?
The center is interdisciplinary and anchored at Aalborg University with participation of:
- Department of Health Science and Technology:
- Head of Department Kim Dremstrup
- Assistant Professor Mads Jochumsen
- Assistant Professor Mostafa Mohammadi
- Professor Lotte N. S. Andreasen Struijk
- Department of Materials and Production:
- Professor John Rasmussen
- Professor Shaoping Bai
- Department of Architecture and Media Technology:
- Professor Thomas B. Moeslund
- Department of Electronic Systems:
- Professor Thomas Bak
- Department of Planning:
- Professor Anne Marie Kanstrup
- Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University Hospital:
- Professor Michael Gaihede
In addition, we collaborate with external partners, e.g. Aarhus University, Aalborg University Hospital: Izabella Obál and Lotte Vinge, neurologists within amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and with West Denmark Center for Spinal Cord Injuries. Further, the center shares knowledge and spars with the Rehabilitation Center for Muscular Dystrophy.
All interested parties from other departments of Aalborg University and international interested parties can be part of the center network.
Who are we?
We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers with expertise within the topics related to rehabilitation robotics, covering biomedical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, human centered designers, neurologists, otolaryngologists and partners from rehabilitation centers, user organizations and industry.
What are our fundamental goals/objectives?
In addition to the core research, the center activities are to:
- Strengthen application-oriented research in the use of robotics to increase the quality of life and independence of individuals with severe paralysis due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke, spinal cord injury and similar disorders.
- Develop and evaluate new rehabilitation robots and robot interfaces that can be adapted to the functionality of the users
- Ensure the applicability of the research results through interdisciplinary research at a high international level with a holistic approach involving the users
- Form a bridge between users, clinicians, researchers and companies across disciplines, both nationally and internationally
- Perform a core research project on: Intelligent Hybrid Light Weight Tendon Based Exoskeleton for Severely Disabled Individuals (https://vbn.aau.dk/da/projects/intelligent-hybrid-light-weight-tendon-based-exoskeleton-for-seve)
- Promote rehabilitation robotics research and collaboration both at Aalborg University and with external partners (researchers, users, clinicians, municipalities, companies, etc.) through, e.g. workshops and collaboration with other projects in the field
Our research – what we do?
We involve users in the design and evaluation of robotics solutions for rehabilitation adopting the broad definition of rehabilitation by WHO. Through interdisciplinary research, we develop interfaces and robots for severely disabled individuals for both clinical therapy and domestic applications. An example is the core center project on the development of a lightweight intelligent tendon-based arm exoskeleton for domestic use that can be controlled with a hybrid adaptive semiautomatic control system starting with, e.g., myoelectric signals, later tongue-based control and finally brain-based control in order to support static conditions as in spinal cord injuries and to adapt to a progressing disease such as ALS. Another example of a center-collaborative project is the development of a hybrid FES-EMG rehabilitation robot for neurorehabilitation therapy in clinical settings, which is a project conducted in collaboration with industry.
How does our research contribute to societal health challenges?
The society is facing major health changes due to the demographic changes towards an older population. This decreases the number of available health professionals and at the same time increases the number of individuals needing support, both in clinical and in domestic settings. As part of the field of digital health, rehabilitation robotics has a great potential to help coping with these challenges as rehabilitation robotics can:
- Improve the self-supportiveness and thus the quality of life of the users
- Reduce the physical load on the health professionals, e.g. through therapeutic robots in clinical settings
- Increase the societal inclusion of disabled individuals
