Sistema electrónico para la rehabilitación de mano

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The injuries that the hands present can be caused by different pathologies such as blows, fractures or diseases that attack the system, these presented pathologies need to be treated and rehabilitated, so we proceed to perform an electronic hand rehabilitation system that helps to improve the process of rehabilitation of patients suffering from it.

The research presents the design, construction and operation of a robotic prosthesis, which is aimed at improving the quality of life of people suffering from hand fractures, fingers, radial nerve paralysis, hand osteoarthritis, among others, the use The prototype improves the rehabilitation process as it helps correct different injuries that can occur in the hands. The prototype is composed of two fundamental parts, the first part is a mechanism which allows the flexion of the fingers and joints of the affected parts, the second part is of functionality since being used allows the early recovery of the lesions, the prototype is built by means of 3D printing, since when designed it allows us an ergonomic adaptation according to the user's needs.
