| summary | The problematic of evaluating the physical functional limitations of patients suffering from postural pathologies and establishing the relationship between individual disability and biomechanics will be addressed in this talk. Starting from popular and simple experimental paradigms used in rehabilitation field, predictive models based on biomechanical analysis, optimization processes and classical robotics tools have been developed. These models allow, at different levels of description in actuator dynamics and sensory feedback, a better understanding of the optimal behaviors and constraints acting on the postural system during rehabilitation exercises. After experimental validations on humans and humanoid robots, these models have been extended to capture specific invariants observed with hemiplegic patients. In order to use the outputs of these models in clinical practice and daily life practice, new and low cost measurement methodologies for human movement have been developed in the purpose of minimizing the complexity of experimental setup. In these approaches, using a single inertial sensor, global physical performance score could be provide as well as joint variables and segmental mechanics. Therefore, these measurement methodologies contribute to establishing a relationship between biomechanics and disability. The validation of these models, carried out in the laboratory, has shown that they possess a strong potential for future rehabilitation applications. Finally a brief overview of ongoing collaborations and projects will be presented. |
