Abstract
This research project has three objectives: (1) to develop a prognostic procedure which will be based on expert system. Very soon after the accident will allow the patient classification into groups, prediction of optimal rehabilitation theraphy method and prediction of final orthotic (electrical stimulation) use. (2) Develop and make the prototype version of miniature electrical stimulator. Main expected futures are: small dimensions, power efficient operation, wireless connection between pushbutton built in crutch handle and stimulator unit, ability of parameter variations and connectivity to faster computer via serial link. (3) Stimulator tests in: laboratory, clinical and everyday environment. Better evaluation of theraphy is expected to decrease related costs and with higher probability predict final rehabilitation achievement. In addition to this is expected aesthetic and more reliable stimulation unit with no visual differences between usual and telemetry crutch.
