Diseño Y Construcción De Un Prototipo De Exoesqueleto Robótico En Miembro Superior Del Cuerpo Humano

Abstract

A prototype of exoskeleton was designed for the rehabilitation of patients who suffered from stroke and were in the acute stage of the disease. The clinical conditions where the prototype had the greatest impact on the patient were investigated, as well as the procedures and protocols practiced in Therapy to have a solid foundation on which a physical rehabilitator could work. On the other hand, we investigated the movements of the upper limb, the muscles involved, the ranges of arm and forearm movement, among others. Finally, we determined the mechanical and electronic components necessary for the construction of the final model. Be a useful tool in the development of recovery therapies.
