用于平衡改善的基于压力传感器的舌放置电触觉生物反馈--预防压疮形成和跌倒的生物医学应用
Pressure sensor-based tongue-placed electrotactile biofeedback for balance improvement - Biomedical application to prevent pressure sores formation and falls
摘要:
我们引进创新技术,基于“感觉替代”的概念,我们正在生物医学工程和人类残疾领域进行开发。准确地说,我们的目标是设计、开发和验证实用的辅助性生物医学和/或技术设备和/或残疾人康复程序,使用人工舌头放置触觉生物反馈系统。建议的应用涉及:(1)脊髓损伤(截瘫或四肢瘫痪的人)情况下的压疮预防;以及(2)平衡控制改善,以防止老年人和/或残疾人跌倒。本文介绍了这些生物反馈系统的架构和功能原理,并提出了两个可行性研究的初步结果进行年轻健康的成年人。
英文摘要:
We introduce the innovative technologies, based on the concept of "sensory substitution", we are developing in the fields of biomedical engineering and human disability. Precisely, our goal is to design, develop and validate practical assistive biomedical and/or technical devices and/or rehabilitating procedures for persons with disabilities, using artificial tongue-placed tactile biofeedback systems. Proposed applications are dealing with: (1) pressure sores prevention in case of spinal cord injuries (persons with paraplegia, or tetraplegia); and (2) balance control improvement to prevent fall in older and/or disabled adults. This paper describes the architecture and the functioning principle of these biofeedback systems and presents preliminary results of two feasibility studies performed on young healthy adults.
