Integrated sensing system for upper limbs in neurologic rehabilitation

Wearable sensing devices for monitoring physiological parameters have proved their benefits in reducing the recovery time of mobility and in restoring the neuro-cognitive processes underlying the movement of the body. This is particularly evident in neurological patients from trauma or degenerative diseases. This kind of devices are generally wired sensors fixed on flexible supports, with complicated configuration and calibration. The work presented here has the goal to provide the design and implementation of a training system for rehabilitation including seven types of sensors, dedicated areas for data transmission in wireless mode, power management and signal multiplexing.
