CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
According to World Health Organisation WHO, there are around 650 million people live with disabilities of various types. The number is still increasing due to the rise
of chronic diseases, injuries, car crashes, falls, violence and other causes such as ageing[1]. The increase of disable people led to the increase the need of physiotherapy treatment and
rehabilitation facilities. This is the reason Portable Physiotherapy Limbs Rehabilitation Robot PPLRR is introduced. PPLRR is a smart robot which provides a full range of
rehabilitation exercise Active range of motion, Active-Passive range of motion and Passive range of motion for disable people such as stroke patients. PPLRR provides cycle
motion exercise which is simulating the walking motion and a cycle motion can exercise all of the muscles in the limbs. PPLRR has a special feature which can detect the force that
the user is exerting on the handle of PPLRR. PPLRR will extract or retract the handle to prevent overstretching the user base on the force reading.
This project will only focus on the designing of the user interface and data manipulation. The hardware of PPLRR is done by other students. The user interface that is
design is touch screen based and the resolution is limited to 1024 x 768 pixels.
