Post-doctoral position in robotic rehabilitation and physiotherapy
2 weeks ago
We are looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team of researchers in the field of adaptive robotic rehabilitation and physiotherapy. The successful candidate will work on developing and evaluating user-centered robotic systems for the rehabilitation of upper and lower limb impairments. We are particularly interested in developing modular and reusable robotic solutions that are affordable, intuitive, engaging, and adaptable to the individual needs of each patient.
Join our multidisciplinary team to further investigate and propose innovative solutions to empower robots with the ability to provide physical and emotional support to patients during their rehabilitation. The accepted candidate will have the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment, with close collaborations with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, surgeons, and healthcare providers, through our partners Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and Sahlgrenska Akademin.
If you are passionate about developing intelligent robotic solutions that impact and improve the quality of life of our society, we strongly encourage you to apply for this position.
Project description Robotic rehabilitation and physiotherapy are emerging as essential solutions, reshaping the way individuals recover mobility and function after injuries, illnesses, or disabilities. Unlike traditional therapy, robots offer objective data, personalized training, and intensive practice, leading to improved outcomes and a revolutionized rehabilitation landscape. An aging population and rising chronic conditions create an ever-growing demand for accessible and effective rehabilitation, while limitations in resources like qualified therapists and time create a need for innovative solutions. The impact of robotic rehabilitation goes beyond individual lives. Robots empower therapists to see more patients, expanding therapy options to geographically remote areas and increasing access to care. These technologies personalize treatment plans based on individual needs and progress, maximizing the effectiveness of each session. Furthermore, the engaging and interactive nature of robot-assisted physiotherapy fosters patient engagement and adherence to therapy programs, improving motivation and overall outcomes. Finally, robots provide crucial objective data, offering real-time feedback and collecting valuable data that allows therapists to track progress and adjust treatment plans.
Despite the advancements, there are many open challenges. For example, ensuring the affordability, accessibility, and adaptability of this technology for all patients is crucial. Additionally, seamless integration with existing therapy practices requires careful consideration to optimize patient outcomes. Robotic rehabilitation and physiotherapy hold immense potential to reshape the future of recovery. By offering personalized, accessible, and data-driven solutions, this technology empowers individuals on their journey back to health and independence. Recognizing these challenges, Chalmers University of Technology, in collaboration with Sahlgrenska University Hospital, has launched the ambitious AURORA project to research and develop User-Centered Adaptive and Intelligent Rehabilitation Systems. AURORA aims to develop affordable technologies that provide direct feedback and support to users and healthcare providers.
