Theoretical Research and Simulation on Active Control of Assistive Devices in Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract

— Due to the increase in the number of people affected by Parkinson's disease worldwide, the continuous development of new assistive devices must be accessible, ergonomic and easy to use as possible to facilitate daily activities, leading to the improvement the quality of patient’s life. This work will be presented the methods of reducing Parkinson's disease as well as some of the assistive devices currently available on the market. Following the research of the current state, possible future improvements of these types of equipment will be proposed.
