TEK SERBESTLİK DERECELİ ROBOT İLE BALANCE MASTER TEST CİHAZINDA DENGE VE PERFORMANS ÖLÇÜMÜ

Son yıllarda genellikle nörolojik hastalıklar ile ortaya çıkan denge ve postural kontrol bozukluklarının seviyesinin belirlenmesinde ve rehabilitasyonunda pasif yöntemlerin yerini çeşitli alanlarda ölçüm yapabilen dinamik test cihazları almıştır. Bu alanda değerlendirme ve ölçümler, sabit veya giydirilebilir sensörler aracılığı ile yapılmakta ve kaydedilmektedir. Mevcut sistemlerdeki klinik deneylerin sonuçlarından, elde edilen verilerin kişiden kişiye değiştiği görülmektedir. Yeni geliştirilen cihazların geliştirme ve test aşamalarında, veri tekrarlanabilirliği sağlamak için insan yerine aynı hareketleri yapabilecek robotlar tercih edilebilir. Bu çalışmada Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi bünyesinde geliştirilmekte olan denge platformunun deneysel çalışmalarında kullanılmak amacıyla geliştirilen tek serbestlik dereceli robot ile “Balance Master” isimli denge ve performans test cihazında yapılan test sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir.

In recent years, dynamic test devices have been able to measure in various areas take place of passive methods for determination of balance and postural control disorder levels those occur with neurological diseases and rehabilitation. In this working area, evaluation and measurements are made and recorded via fixed or wearable sensors. As a result of clinical trials in the existing systems, it appears that the obtained data has changed from person to person. In the development and testing phases of newly developed devices, robots, which can do the same movements instead of people, can be preferred to provide data repeatability. In this study, the test results of the single degree-of-freedom robot that developed for use in the experimental works of the equilibrium platform developed in Dokuz Eylül University, with the balance and performance test device named Balance Master are included.

Keywords:

Balance Master, Balance and postural control, The single degree-of-freedom robot.,
