Upper limb rehabilitation is a specialized therapeutic process aimed at restoring function, strength, and coordination to the arms and hands following injury or surgery. It involves a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes advanced technologies like robotics or virtual reality to optimize recovery outcomes.
Adaptive control is a type of control system that automatically adjusts its parameters in real-time to maintain optimal performance in the presence of uncertainties or variations in the system dynamics. It is particularly useful in environments where the system model is not fully known or is subject to change, allowing for improved robustness and flexibility in control applications.
Wearable robotics, also known as exoskeletons, are devices worn on the body that enhance human capabilities by providing physical support or augmenting strength and endurance. These technologies have applications across various fields including healthcare, rehabilitation, military, and industrial settings, offering potential improvements in mobility, productivity, and safety.
