Desenvolvimento de plataforma para monitoramento de esforço em membro superior em processos fisioterápicos

Abstract

Scientific research in the field of engineering, focused on rehabilitation processes is providing more and more information that aims to help people with physical anomalies in the upper limbs. Specific equipment focusing on muscle rehabilitation analysis in physiotherapy processes is uncommon or even unknown in rehabilitation centers, making quantitative analysis impossible in the face of upper limb physiotherapy processes, which are currently performed subjectively. This work presents a platform for the monitoring of muscle effort using surface electromyography as technology, obtaining data from the muscle signal of the patient who is undergoing a continuous rehabilitation process during the physiotherapy procedure. The electromyography signal (EMG) collected during the physiotherapy process will be treated and stored in a continuous database with information from each individual patient, making quantitative results available to the health professional, who can use them together with their qualitative references for decision-making in the face of improved upper limb (MS) who are in the process of rehabilitation.
