The COSMOSYS project - "Cognitive stroke movement therapy system through integration of wearable haptic interfaces" is the joint project funded by Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) in Singapore and National Development Agency (NFÜ - Project number: TÉT_08-SG-2010-0002) in Hungary. Two research teams with the team leaders, Prof. I-Ming Chen from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Prof. Gabor Stepan from Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), are collaborating closely with each other in order to develop wearable haptic interfaces that can be easily put on stroke patients in the poststroke stage for non-intrusive continuous assessment and cognitive assistance in the rehabilitation process to help patients restoring human activities of daily living.

What's new

	Project ended The Hungarian-Singaporean bilateral research project, under support from grant No. TÉT_08-SG-2010-0002 in Hungary has been completed with success. One of the major results is the extension of the REHAROB Therapuetic System, originally developed in an EU FP5 grant started in 2000 and coordinated by the BME DMSE, with a hand module and with support to active guided motion therapy. The robot therapeutic system has been clinically tested in the National Institute for Medical Rehabilitation on 20 spastic hemiparetic post stroke subjects. Their rehabilitation programme included robot supported practising of five selected activities of daily living (ADLs) - drinking, making phone call, closing and opening a door, zipping and unzipping a vest, drying the face with a towel - five times each in series of 20 day sessions.
