Design of an automatic device for rehabilitation of the fingers of the hand for people with ictus

Abstract:

The present research presents the construction of a robotic equipment used in the rehabilitation of the fingers for people after an Ictus, the equipment is constituted by a sliding crank mechanism in connection for each finger independently, the static and dynamic characteristic of the parts were designed with anthropometric measures. In addition, an architecture control based on PID-Fuzzy is proposed that achieves an adaptive control for each patient, which allows to have a software with personalized therapies for each patient, incorporates with a database for recording the stages in their rehabilitation according to the type of motor activity, number of repetitions and execution time; finally, the robotic equipment is evaluated in patients with follow-up in a defined time interval.
