Abstract

Among the elderly and patients with mild brain diseases (such as dementia and stroke), when there is a certain degree of self-acting ability and cognitive ability, exercise and cognitive rehabilitation are often required. However, since most of the existing rehabilitation systems are separated or specialized in exercise or cognitive rehabilitation, there is a need for a form linking both. In this paper, we propose a game-type rehabilitation system that enables both exercise and cognitive rehabilitation using CAN communication protocol, one of ICT technologies. This system uses the CAN BUS structure to separate and combine each individual module constituting the rehabilitation system in various forms. A prototype of the proposed system was actually produced to show that various types of rehabilitation environments can be implemented according to the degree of cognitive ability and motor ability of the patient (or the elderly). In addition, through several experiments using this system, it is possible to implement exercise/cognitive parallel rehabilitation applicable to various environments.

노인과 경증 뇌질환(치매 및 뇌졸중 등) 환자들 중 일정 정도의 자력 행동 능력과 인지 능력이 있는 경우에는 운동과 인지 재활을 병행해야만 하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 기존의 재활 시스템은 대부분 운동 또는 인지 재활로 분리 또는 특화 되어 있는 경우가 많아서 두 가지 모두를 연계하는 형태에 대한 필요성이 있다고 생각된다. 본 논문에서는 ICT 기술의 하나인 CAN 통신 프로토콜을 이용하여 운동과 인지 재활을 병행할 수 있도록 하는 게임형 재활시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 시스템은 CAN BUS 구조를 이용하여 재활 시스템을 구성하는 각각의 개별 모듈들을 다양한 형태로 분리 및 결합 사용이 가능하도록 한다. 환자(또는 노인)의 인지 능력과 운동 능력의 정도에 따라 다양한 형태의 재활 환경을 구현할 수 있음을 보이고자 제안된 시스템의 프로토 타입을 실제로 제작하였다. 아울러 이 시스템을 이용한 몇 가지 실험을 통하여 여러 환경에 적용 가능한 운동/인지 병행 재활의 구현 가능성을 보이고 있다.
