♠ Abstract ♠ Title Interdisciplinary rehabilitation, with its focus on physiotherapeutic and alternative techniques, as symptomatic therapy, and its effect on quality of life of multiple sclerosis patients: a literature review Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune anti-inflammatory demyelinating disease that gives rise to multiple symptoms, which affect the patient's quality of life (QoL). Up to date, a cure does not exist, yet recent research with the use of mesenchymal and haematopoetic stem cells is promising. The first line of treatment is pharmacological management of the auto-immune response, followed by the management of the symptoms. That is why a comprehensive inter-disciplinary management is required with different interventions and techniques to provide more personalised care. Moreover, due to the unpredictable and progressive nature of the disease, the prevalence of MS patients seeking complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) has increased, specifically in the form of acupuncture and Qigong.

With the main goal of achieving the most realistic and achievable QoL...

This paper presents a novel approach to the design of a motorized rehabilitation device – active elbow orthosis (AEO) – inspired by the principles of robotic exoskeletons. The device is currently designed for the elbow joint, but can be easily modified for other joints as well. AEO determines the motion activity of the patient using a strain gauge and utilizes this measurement to control the actuator that drives the forearm part of the orthosis. Patient activity level is related to a free arm measurement obtained via a calibration procedure prior to the exercise. A high-level control module offers several types of exercises mimicking the physiotherapist. The device was successfully verified by tests on a number of patients, resulting in extended range of elbow-joint motion.
