The article presents the continuation of work related to the creation of a car driving simulator with a weight of up to 3.5 tons adapted to selected disabilities. The article contains a description of the developed motion platform with six degrees of freedom and the cockpit. In order to ensure the possibility of being managed by the largest group of people with physical disabilities, selected support solutions were implemented. These devices can be easily dismantled to test others. The platform together with the cockpit is controlled from the simulator application and the image is presented to the simulation participant in 3D projection glasses and optionally on a three-segment screen.

BACKGROUND Telerehabilitation is a feasible and potentially effective alternative to in-person rehabilitation. However, specific guidance, training and support for practitioners who undertake remote assessments in people with physical disabilities and movement impairment is limited. OBJECTIVE The aims of this survey of United Kingdom (UK) based health and social care practitioners were to explore experiences, assess training needs, and collate ideas on best practice in telerehabilitation for physical disabilities and movement impairment. The ultimate aim will be to use the findings to inform a practical toolkit and training package for telerehabilitation use. METHODS UK rehabilitation practitioners were invited to complete an online questionnaire in November to December 2020. Opportunity and snowball sampling were used to recruit participants from professional and educational networks, special interest groups and via social media. Closed questionnaire items were analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative inductive analysis using NVivo was used for free text responses. RESULTS There were 247 respondents, of which 177 (72%) were physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Most (n = 207, 84%) had used video-based consultations, typically supported by telephone and e-mail. Practitioners perceived telerehabilitation positively overall, and recognised benefits for patients including reduced infection risk, convenience and flexibility, and reduced travel and fatigue. Common obstacles were: technology-related (e.g. internet connection); practical (e.g. difficulty positioning the camera); patient-related (e.g. health status); practitioner-related (e.g. lack of technical skills); and organisational (e.g. lack of access to technology). Support from family members or carers was a major facilitator for successful remote consultations. Of the 207 respondents who had used video-based consultations, 103 (50%) had assessed physical impairments using this method, 107 (52%) had assessed physical function, and 121 (59%) had used patient-reported outcome measures. Although practitioners generally felt confident in delivering video-based consultations, they were less confident in undertaking remote physical assessments. They expressed concerns about the validity, reliability and safety of physical assessments carried out remotely. Only 46 of the 247 respondents (19%) had received any training in telerehabilitation or video consultations, with some commenting that they were “feeling their way in the dark”. Practitioners desired training and guidance on: physical assessment tools suitable for remote use; when to use video-based consultations or alternative methods; and governance issues. They also wanted guidance on digital platforms and signposting to digital skills training for themselves and their patients. CONCLUSIONS In response to the COVID pandemic, practitioners rapidly adopted telerehabilitation for people with physical disabilities and movement impairment. However, there are technical, practical and organisational obstacles to overcome, and a clear need for improved guidance and training in remote physical assessments. The findings of this survey will inform the development of a toolkit of resources and training package for the current and future workforce in telerehabilitation.

Vehicle Dynamics Control

Interconnected basic vehicle functions, such as braking, steering and driving, have great potential to improve vehicle safety and comfort. In order to design and test the necessary control functions, a fully active X-by-wire test vehicle (“Chamaeleon”) has been developed. However, while demonstrating the vehicle’s capabilities with real test drives is of high risk, a driving simulator that integrates the entire vehicle provides safe conditions for interactive demonstration test drives — even for untrained drivers. In this paper, we introduce a driving simulator that is composed of Virtual Reality-based simulation software and the Chamaeleon test vehicle. This provides a prototyping and demonstration platform for integrated vehicle-dynamics control functions. Therefore, we enhanced an existing driving simulator. Moreover, we realized control functions in order to utilize the Chamaeleon’s active suspension to provide a motion platform with three degrees-of-freedom. The driving simulator has proven well as a demonstration platform during two international industry fairs. Here, the main goal was, to interactively illustrate the unconventional steering strategies as well as dedicated functionalities of the Chamaeleon. Although the achieved motion feedback is not very realistic, the presence of motion was very welcomed by fair attendees, who performed a simulated test drive. Additionally, first tests have shown that the driving simulator can be used as a prototyping platform. Here, complex control functions can be tested on actual vehicle hardware, while driving in a secured synthetic environment. This enables engineers to instantly perceive the impacts of the control algorithms on the behavior of the vehicle. This facilitates the development process.

Six degrees of freedom motion platform is an important part of the flight simulator. To study the dynamic characteristics of the simulator, the paper carried a six degree of freedom motion platform dynamics analysis, and proposed fuzzy PID control strategy, and through the ADAMS software to establish a simulation model of six degrees of freedom motion platform, simulation results show that the use of strategy has good control effect for the simulator is designed to provide some reference.

Abstract In order to reasonably design the six degrees of freedom turntable (hereinafter referred to as the transfer table), based on the structure size and motion index parameters of the turntable, The motion mechanics calculation model was established to simulate and analyze the mechanical variation curve of singing platform under different motion modes. The analysis shows that when the upper platform load and the component mass are 3000 kg, the maximum action force of the rotating platform support moving cylinder is 1376.4 kg.

In planning a building and environment, not only design that needs to be considered but also accessibility. Accessibility that can be accessed by everyone for the creation of equal opportunities. In designing, the perception of the environment is important, The Social Rehabilitation Center for People with Physical Disabilities (BRSPDF) Wirajaya is a rehabilitation center for people with physical disabilities to acquire skills so that they can work independently. So accessibility is very important in supporting activities and smooth activities in the Hall. Based on this, this study aims to analyze the level of conformity of accessibility elements to the principle of facilities and accessibility. In this research the method used is the survey method and use the questionnaire as a research instrument, a type of quantitative detiptive research.. The results showed that the level of conformity of accessibility elements to safety is 74.1%, convenience 79.5%, usability 71.8%, and independence 64.1%.
