Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for assessing and rehabilitating spasticity in stroke patients, utilizing a novel approach that combines EMG signal analysis with kinematic data of wrist movements. The system comprises a set of electrodes for capturing EMG signals from key wrist muscles, a motion tracking module for monitoring wrist joint movements, and a processing unit for calculating and normalizing wrist joint torque. A distinctive feature is computation of a characteristic vector, indicative of the spasticity state, derived from the moment arms of the involved muscles. The system includes a motorized wrist system, designed to assist wrist movements in a direction countering the spasticity-induced pull, guided by the characteristic vector. This approach allows for personalized rehabilitation, adapting to the patient's specific muscular imbalances. The invention holds promise for enhanced assessment accuracy and tailored therapy in stroke rehabilitation, offering significant benefits for both clinical and home-based rehabilitation settings.
