Novosibirsk State Technical University (NETI) together with Novosibirsk State Medical University have created an innovative software and rehabilitation complex for the recovery of patients with the consequences of acute cerebral circulatory disorders, injuries and neurological disorders.
Scientists have developed a simulator complex to restore mobility and fine motor skills of the hand in patients with neurological disorders, the consequences of acute cerebral circulatory disorders and injuries.
The device is made using additive technology in the form of a glove controller, which provides hardware monitoring of the orientation of the hand in space and the degree of flexion of the fingers, the formation and transmission of a digital signal, and a set of game programs of various levels of complexity that provide the formation of rehabilitation and training tasks, stimulation based on the principle of visual positive feedback, and assessment of the success of rehabilitation procedures, the refinement and improvement of which continues with the participation of specialists from NGMU.
According to Alexey Tsygulin, head of the student design bureau "Breakthrough: Extreme Robotics" at NSTU-NETI, the Perchatka allows you to restore movement in a playful way, which is important for patients. "In this format of work, a person is more energetic, performs exercises with great desire, so the result is better," said Alexey Tsygulin.
The head of the SKB said that the simulator is easy to manufacture, does not require large costs, is flexible in settings and implies refinement for various types of rehabilitation programs. But the main thing is that the rehabilitation software complex has already proved its effectiveness during testing at Novosibirsk City Clinical Hospital No. 2.
To work on the simulator, it is enough to connect the device to a computer via a USB cable and install software with a set of training and rehabilitation programs, which allows us to evaluate the development as promising for the purposes of individual remote rehabilitation outside the walls of a medical organization.
The development was presented at the exhibition of the International Forum "Technoprom-2025".
