Diseño e Implementación de un Exoesqueleto de Apoyo para Rehabilitación del Síndrome del Túnel Carpiano

Abstract

This document describes the development of an exoskeleton that gives supports to rehabilitation therapies of the upper limb to the height of the wrist and hand, through an interactive interface where you have control of the device. Therefore we designed each piece that forms the exoskeleton using SolidWorks CAD software, which assembled along with sensors and actuators, allows do each activity and movements that are directed by the PSoC® 5LP, microcontroller responsible for receiving the variables of execution of each activity which are determined by the interactive interface developed in Python via RS232 , in which the user can, in addition to monitoring the activity that you want to perform, have access to a database that stores the information corresponding to the progress of each session
