Recovering strength and movement after an injury often involves physical therapy. Physical therapists help patients with brain or bone injuries regain control of their muscles. Exercising muscles is an important part of the rehabilitation process. Therapists use balls and boards to improve balance, stretchy bands to increase strength and other exercises.
受伤后恢复力量和运动通常涉及到物理治疗。物理治疗师帮助大脑或骨骼受伤的患者重新恢复其肌肉控制力。肌肉锻炼是康复过程中的重要内容。治疗师使用各种球和木板来改善平衡，使用弹性带来增加力量，同时进行其它锻炼。
But a Polish technology company Egzotech has developed a robot called Luna, to make those exercises interactive. Luna can help therapists choose the best exercises for their patients. The robot also provides therapists with information about their patients' progress.
但是波兰Egzotech科技公司已经开发出一款名为月神的机器人让这种锻炼变成互动式。月神可以帮助治疗师为他们的病人选择最佳锻炼方案。该机器人还能给治疗师提供患者的治疗进展信息。
Luna uses electromyography, or EMG, to identify electrical currents as patients bend their arms or legs. Michal Mikulski is the chief executive officer of Egzotech. He says detecting muscle tension not immediately visible to the human eye can help therapists design better exercises.
月神采用肌电图描记法来识别患者弯曲胳膊和腿时的电流。米哈尔·米库尔斯基（Michal Mikulski）是Egzotech公司的首席执行官。他说，检测人眼不可见的肌张力可以帮助治疗师设计出更好的锻炼方案。
"We reach a certain stage of disease development...when the muscle tension is not even visible. But these signals can still be seen on our machines. Luna is still able to detect them. And based on that, when the brain sends a signal to the muscle to flex, even though we don't see it, Luna is still able to detect it. It detects these signals and causes the movement of the limb, as if it were performed naturally."
“当病情发展到某个特定阶段，甚至是肌张力都没有看到之时。但是这些信号在我们的机器中可以看到。月神能够探测到。而在此基础上，当大脑给肌肉发出弯曲信号，即使我们看不到，月神还是能够探测到。它能探测这种信号，并引起肢体运动，就像这些运动是在自然地进行。”
Luna can also make therapy fun for children who often get bored with repeated movements. Luna permits them to play games without knowing that they are exercising their muscles.
月神还能给经常厌倦重复动作的孩子带来带来治疗乐趣。月神让他们玩游戏，在他们不知情的情况下锻炼肌肉。
"Sometimes it is a spacecraft, sometimes shooting balls, sometimes flying a dragon. In any case, a child wants to win a game, wants to compete, but in fact they are exercising."
“有时候是飞船游戏，有时候是射门游戏，有时候是飞行游戏。在任何情况下孩子们都想赢得比赛，但实际上他们是在锻炼。”
Luna is just a prototype. But Egzotech expects to have other robots ready for sale later this year.
月神只是一个雏形。但是Egzotech公司专家预计今年晚些时候会推出其它机器人上市销售。
