| Telerehabilitation for a baby's abnormal foot correction | |
Abstract/OtherAbstract
:
|
Telemedicine now finds itself at a crossroads and the robotic use over distance for medical diagnosis and treatment has now become a reality. Many kinds of medical deformity on patients at a remote location can be corrected in a non-surgical way, by using robotic medical assistive devices, under telerehabilitation technology. The present work gives an overview of telerehabilitation, along with its application. The paper follows the main characteristics of telerehabilitations. Finally, a conceptual telerehabilitation model for the correction of a clubfoot deformity in newborn babies is presented. This model gives a clear indication that the proposed model can be implemented in real life, to give a standard method for better health care of the child and hence to society. |
