An intelligent tilt table for paralytic patients

Abstract

Due to damaged vertebrae nerves, serious disease and aging, patients who have to lie down for long period of time need to exercise to maintain up-right standing position and recover their paralytic leg. This study describes a development of an intellectual tilt table which can provide a patient with rehabilitating condition. This can be possible by measuring and displaying the knee bent angle and pressure for each foot during exercise in real time. It is expected that the patient’s exercising effect can increase by monitoring these two values during exercise.
