Course Summary

With increasing demands on physical therapy services worldwide due to aging populations and improved survival rates from conditions such as stroke, the role of technology within healthcare is becoming ever more significant. Robotic systems are increasingly seen as a means by which to address the challenge of unmet need, alleviating the burden on physiotherapy staff and budgetary resources while improving patient outcome and quality of life. This may be through the provision of additional therapeutic exercise by means of robotic intervention creating intelligent prosthetics to improve patient ability and comfort assistive technologies to enhance patient independence or improved diagnostic and assessment tools to help evaluate motor impairment or identify developmental conditions. At Leeds we are at the forefront of developing such technologies, taking a user-centered design approach we engage with clinicians, physiotherapists, patients and their carers to create innovative robotic systems that can have a real impact on people’s lives. With a track record in producing devices and taking them through to clinical trial, enhanced by our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, we foster a collaborative research environment with links to Leeds NHS Primary Care Trust.
