Assistive Technologies for Biologically Inspired Controller System - A Short Review Assistive Technologies for the Elderly

Ageing is inevitable and leads to numerous problems including disabilities in the lower limb. Partial disabilities represent a severe challenge to many people; occur due to debilitative disorder including muscular dystrophy, accidents, stroke and other age-related issues. This problem commonly occurs in developing nations which results in lack of their development so the physiotherapist has taken many measures and recent innovation in assistive technology are very much useful. Recent developments in the field of robotics lead to the innovation of assistive devices in the rehabilitation process and assistive services. This paper gives brief literature about the methods used in assistive technology and how good they are interacting with the user. The review suggests that the human-robot interface is brought by a co-adaptive system which can be adopted by all models. The simulation process is carried out in software's like mat lab and proteus before proceeding to the hardware simulation.
