Abstract

Ageing in place (at home) is gaining popularity due to the increasing proportion of the elderly population and stay at home lifestyle. Technology can be of great help to support ageing in place. Primarily, we need systems for telerehabilitation, exercise or necessary physical training, support for weakly functioning body parts and self-assessment. This chapter introduces state-of-the-art devices for each of the mentioned categories that can support and enhance the quality of life (QoL) of older adults. Wearable technologies that are suitable for at-home usage are discussed next that use a low-pressure type McKibben actuator called the pneumatic gel muscle (PGM). PGMs are utilized to design a soft exoskeleton jacket for remote human interaction to achieve a wearable solution for telerehabilitation. The force induced by the system and the latencies involved are reported. PGMs are further used to design a wearable balance exercise device. The effectiveness of the device is evaluated using a single-leg stance test. Another system using PGMs to support swing motion is elaborated. This design is evaluated using various parameters of the lower limb. The stealth adaptive exergame design framework is explained along with an exergame enabling adjustable load. Finally, a brushed body area assessment system is discussed.
