使用Sphero Bolt互動機器球協助腦麻者增進上肢動作品質之研究
Using Sphero Bolt interactive robotic balls to improve upper limb movement quality in people with cerebral palsy
摘要
為了提升腦性麻痺患者的生活自理能力，改善肢體動作範圍與運動平滑度是至為重要的復健工作，然而長期性的物理復健，由於傳統輔具互動性不足，患者在復健過程中，容易感到乏味，間接地影響了復健意願與積極性。為解決此問題，本研究使用Sphero Bolt教育機器人設計具有高度互動性的輔助科技。 物理治療師可使用手機App，對機器人進行設定，可為患者客製一系列的上肢復健訓練內容，包括手腕的旋前和旋後、手肘彎曲伸直、手臂垂直舉高或水平移動，透過該機器人所內建的三軸陀螺儀感測器、LED燈光與互動語音功能，讓患者即時了解當下的運動品質，並藉由視覺與聽覺的回饋，鼓勵患者持續進行復健。本研究發現藉由互動性可以增進復健的動機與意願，同時可減少醫療照護的負擔。本輔具系統可將患者的復健過程，以數據方式提供給物理治療師進行監測，並據此調整復健內容。

To improve the self-care ability of patients with cerebral palsy and enhance the range of motion and smoothness of their movements, it is crucial to carry out long-term physical rehabilitation. However, traditional assistive devices often lack interactivity, which can make the rehabilitation process tedious for patients and ultimately affect their motivation and positivity. To address this issue, our research utilized the Sphero Bolt educational robot, which is a highly interactive assistive technology, to design a customized upper limb rehabilitation program for patients. Physical therapists can use a mobile app to configure the robot and create a series of upper limb rehabilitation exercises for the patient, including wrist flexion and extension, elbow flexion and extension, and arm lifting and movement. The robot's built-in three-axis gyroscope sensor, LED lights, and interactive voice function allow the patient to immediately understand the quality of their movement and receive feedback through sight and sound, encouraging them to continue rehabilitation. Our research found that interactivity can improve motivation and willingness to undergo rehabilitation, while also reducing the burden of medical care. This assistive system also provides therapists with data on the patient's rehabilitation progress, which can be used to adjust the rehabilitation program.
