Analysis of Kinesiological Rehabilitation Technologies in patients with Stroke Vascular

Stroke (CVA) is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability in the world. A large proportion of adults who survive such an accident can recover; however, this is achieved after going through a long process of kinesiology rehabilitation. In recent times, there are numerous advances in medical equipment, systems and applications that allow a progressive recovery from the consequences caused by this type of accident. The purpose of this work is to analyze the state of the art in which kinesiological rehabilitation technologies are found, through a systematic review of the literature, which also allows to determine the effectiveness of the application of these technologies in the recovery of patients. Motor rehabilitation technologies, based on virtual reality environments and robotic equipment, were identified for adult patients who present hemiparesis or hemiplegia. A great variation was found in the treatments and scales used for its evaluation, in the motor functionality of the upper and lower limb. In the case of robotic technologies, improvements in the range of motion of the limbs, gait and functionality of the upper limbs and muscular endurance stood out. Also, it highlights the adherence of patients to therapies with virtual reality technologies, since these were partly stimulating and enhanced positive aspects such as self-esteem. The work represents a contribution to engineers, who are interested in specializing in patient rehabilitation technologies.
