Comparative evaluation of motor stereotypes transformation degree in the conditions of using of "double layer exoskeleton" technology and virtual reality
One of the basic elements of modern rehabilitation simulators is an exoskeleton. The technical design of exoskeletons of the most modern simulators created to restore locomotion walking have significant drawback associated with the deformation of individual locomotion patterns. An innovative solution to this problem is the use of «twolayer exoskeleton» consisting of external and internal contours of interconnected fl exible drives. The paper made a comparative analysis of the degree of transformation of the stepper motor stereotype of movement in healthy individuals using technology outlined above and the native version: without the exoskeleton. At the same time, the subjects were divided into two groups, one of which used virtual reality to eliminate environmental interference. As objectification of video analysis system is used, allowing to identify the quality parameters of standardized movements «Step» as the efficiency of movement. It was found that the use of a double-layer exoskeleton did not signifi cantly affect the extent of the transformation of a complex movement patterns of locomotion, which allows to use technology in adaptive kinesitherapy.
