At present, the treatment of facial paralysis is of two types: pharmacological and manual physical therapy. The improvement rate is 80%, leaving the rest with moderate to severe sequelae. A tool that facilitates the evaluation of the pathology and allows adjusting the treatment in a personalized way to the rehabilitator, increase the effectiveness and the prognosis.
The main objective is the creation of a network of flexible and fully adaptable sensors that collect biosignals and can be used in consultation with the therapist in real time, providing complementary data to those that give the techniques of current evolution, electromyogram, electron beam and trunk reflex encephalic.
Arduino will be the electronic device in charge of transmitting the collected signals, which are sent via bluetooth through a module that it incorporates and sent to the computer for the treatment and visualization of the data with the tool Matlab.Ingeniería, Industria y Construcció
