| Abstract (ENG): |
Given the conference's focus on innovative healthcare solutions, our
investigation into robotic assistance systems highlights crucial advancements in early motor rehabilitation, aligning closely with emerging healthcare priorities. In combination with conventional therapy, the assistance systems offer new possible therapy programs. They can be used to mobilize and move patients as early as possible. The paper discusses the possibilities that arise from their use and considers the obstacles that arise. As part of a qualitative survey, nine expert interviews from different fields were conducted to guide them on robotic assisted living systems. The results obtained were summarized by coding into categories and evaluated. Our analysis of 148 coding points from nine expert interviews reveals significant insights into the strengths and weaknesses of robotic systems in neurorehabilitation. Each point was meticulously categorized to reflect its impact on both practice and patient outcomes, highlighting the practical implications of our findings. The results of the survey and the literature indicate a positive effect of robotic assistance systems in early rehabilitation. Their use requires intensive monitoring and studies on the longterm application of the systems. |
