The growing number of older adults places insurmountable load on family members and professional caregivers. Assistive technology with the aid robots can present a possible solution. goal this article was to test companion robot supporting in their home environments. Eight senior volunteers were involved field test. They all lived alone self-supporting. capable providing cognitive assistance manage user's daily routine. Each participant used for 94.9 ± 19.6 days. primary communication...
The multidimensional role of hamstring muscle group strength in athletic performance and injury prevention is well documented, nordic exercise (NHE) a popular method for the development strength. Our aim was to examine EMG characteristics eccentric NHE as effects long-term training on vertical jump 10- 11-year-old female handball players.Players from same team were randomly assigned an (13 players) or control (10 players). Both groups continued their regular routine, but performed additional...
Innovative technologies can support older adults with or without disabilities, allowing them to live independently in their environment whilst monitoring health and safety conditions thereby reducing the significant burden on caregivers, whether family professional. This paper discusses design of a study protocol evaluate acceptance, usability, efficiency SAVE system, custom-developed information technology-based elderly care system. The will involve (aged 65 older), professional lay service...
In the recent decades state of art technologies appeared in many areas to assist older adults with disabilities. However, one very essential activity daily life, toileting remained without any relevant development. The iToilet project European Union focuses on development an intelligent and motorized toilet system enable independent use for To begin development, user requirements end-users were assessed by means focus group interviews questionnaires. survey was conducted Austria Hungary...
Usability evaluation is probably the most critical step in product development for home care market. The DOMEO AAL project targets at high standard with deploying Kompaï social robot to homes of eight elderly users. Each user asked test assisting their daily activities as long three months. paper describes functions and services details autonomous teleoperated infocommunication control solutions. We also present objective subjective results four users fully two partially completed field...
Standard toilets often do not meet the needs of a significant number older persons and with disabilities. The EU funded iToilet project aims at design development new type ICT enhanced modular toilet system which shall be able to support autonomy, dignity safety living home. Methodologically started gathering user requirements by means questionnaires, interviews focus group discussion involving total 74 persons, thereof 41 subjects movement disorders (primary users), 21 caregivers (secondary...
Bevezetés: A fejlett társadalmakban az idős emberek növekvő arányával emelkedik a hozzátartozók, szociális ellátó- és egészségügyi rendszerek terheltsége. Jogos elvárás, hogy ameddig biztonságosan kivitelezhető, addig idősek saját otthonukban, megszokott lakóhelyükön élettevékenységeik közben kapjanak gondozási segítséget. szerzők egy nemzetközi projekt keretében gondozóik számára fejlesztett távgondozó rendszer (környezetérzékelők, okosóra-célapplikáció, webalapú felhőszolgáltatás)...
The REHAROB robotic upper limb rehabilitation system was improved with a custom-designed and developed hand/finger therapy module. new module extends the scope of applicable motion from passive to active reach-to-grasp activities daily living tasks, range treated anatomical joints also extended every proximal distal joint. Finger exercising object grasping are supported pair two degree-of-freedom (DOF) fingers. One fingers moves index/middle/ring together, whereas other finger thumb. A novel...
