Rehabilitation and Pneumatics for Smart Quality of Life (SQOL) at Politecnico di Torino

This paper illustrates the design and the testing of innovative devices developed at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Politecnico di Torino for smart quality of life: two mechatronic prototypes, called P.I.G.R.O. (Pneumatic Interactive Gait Rehabilitation Orthosis) and Bra.Di.P.O. (Brain Discovery Pneumatic Orthosis), for robotic neurorehabilitation and for motor training assessment; pneumatic muscles to implement active suits and rehabilitation devices; massage sleeve for pressure therapy on patients suffering from lymph edema
