| Abstract | Following knee injury or surgery, knee rehabilitation therapy is an essential step to recover normal joint function for daily activities. Physical rehabilitation can take several weeks or even months until full range of motion and joint flexibility are regained. Knee rehabilitation will lead to satisfactory results only at the condition that exercises are performed regularly. An important part in knee rehabilitation is the patellar mobilization which is nowadays performed manually by the physical therapist. This paper presents a new approach for assisting patellar mobilization during knee rehabilitation programs. The use of a robotic device for physiotherapy allows to perform exercises on a regular basis during the whole recovery period and to quantify therapy progress. The physical therapist creates a personalized training protocol depending on the patient's pathology and supervises the training program at the clinic. After several days at the clinics, the patient usually returns back home. Using the robotic device, she or he repeats predefined training sequences over several weeks. The device provides immediate feedback to the patient and the therapist. This feedback also helps the therapist to assess training progress when the patient comes to the therapy center for control sessions. Functional tests in clinics have shown that the use of an automated device for knee therapy increases the patient's motivation and supports the physical therapist in adjusting training programs for optimal joint recovery. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
