DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTUATED CABLE ORTHOTIC GLOVE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE OF FINGER EXTENSION TO STROKE SURVIVORS - Desarrollo de un guante ortótico para proveer asistencia en la extensión de los dedos a pacientes que han sufrido derrame cerebral
.
An externally actuated glove, controlled by a microprocessor, is being developed to assist finger extension in stroke survivors. The goal of this device is to allow repeated practice of specific tasks for hand therapy in the home environment. The device allows the user three control modes: voice recognition, electromyography or manual. These modes can be used either independently or combined according to the needs of the user. Both position and force feedback are available for control and safety. Initial testing of the prototype has shown promising performance. Resumen— Se presenta el desarrollo de un guante activado externamente y controlado por un microprocesador para asistir la extensión de los dedos en pacientes con derrame cerebral. La... Ver más
