Abstract
Among the options offered by Gerontechnology, robotics and mechatronic technologies, in combination with advanced biomechanical models, can provide the identification and slowing down of the effects of age-related modifications of the neuro-musculo-skeletal systems. These technologies may increase autonomy of older people by giving them more possibilities of aging at home, and reducing the institutionalization time. A 3-phases approach is proposed: (i) the use of robotic and mechatronic systems to analyse age-related modifications of the motor control strategies in clinics or research laboratories; (ii) the use of wearable systems to assess motor performance in a non-dedicated environment; (iii) the use of technological aids to help elderly to live independently in their domestic environment.
