Abstract

Dr. Elmas uses the concept of “mechatronic rehabilitation” when designing these solutions. In other words, the device is not just an assistive tool, but is designed like a bionic part that works in harmony with the patient’s nervous system. Dr. Emin Taner Elmas’s proposed mechanical solutions for SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) patients are based on biomechanical systems developed to increase patients’ mobility and improve their quality of life. Here are the cornerstones of these solutions: 1. Smart Exoskeleton Systems: In SMA patients, muscles cannot receive signals and weaken due to motor neuron loss. The mechanical solution Elmas focuses on is a support exoskeleton attached to the outside of the body: • Artificial Muscle Support: Micro-motors and actuators placed at joint points mechanically perform walking, sitting, or arm lifting movements that the patient cannot do with their own strength. • Sensor Integration: Sensitive sensors that detect the movement the patient wants to make (for example, shifting the center of gravity to take a step) instantly activate the mechanism. 2. Neuromuscular Stimulation (Electrical Stimulation): It offers a structure integrated with a mechanical system to not only provide external support but also prevent complete muscle atrophy: • Muscle Activation: While the exoskeleton moves, low-voltage signals are simultaneously sent to the muscles. This aims to slow down the atrophy (muscle wasting) process by preventing the muscles from remaining passive. 3. Spine and Posture Support (Scoliosis Prevention): Spinal curvature (scoliosis) is very common in SMA patients due to muscle weakness. Elmas’ designs offer a mechanical solution to this problem: • Dynamic Bracing: Unlike traditional rigid braces, it envisions flexible and mechanically supported structures that allow body movement but keep the spine in proper alignment. 4. Respiratory Support Mechanisms Because respiratory muscles weaken in the advanced stages of the disease: • Portable Ventilator Integration: It is working on lighter and more efficient mechanical respiratory support units that are integrated into the exoskeleton or wheelchair system and do not restrict the patient’s movement.
