Active Elbow Orthosis
This paper presents a novel approach to the design of a motorized rehabilitation device – active elbow orthosis (AEO) – inspired by the principles of robotic exoskeletons. The device is currently designed for the elbow joint, but can be easily modified for other joints as well. AEO determines the motion activity of the patient using a strain gauge and utilizes this measurement to control the ac...
متن کاملVoluntary-Driven Elbow Orthosis with Speed-Controlled Tremor Suppression
Robotic technology is gradually becoming commonplace in the medical sector and in the service of patients. Medical conditions that have benefited from significant technological development include stroke, for which rehabilitation with robotic devices is administered, and surgery assisted by robots. Robotic devices have also been proposed for assistance of movement disorders. Pathological tremor...
متن کاملA Newly Designed Tennis Elbow Orthosis With a Traditional Tennis Elbow Strap in Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis
BACKGROUND Lateral epicondylitis is a common cause of pain and upper limb dysfunction. The use of counterforce straps for treatment of lateral epicondylitis is widespread. This kind of orthosis can be modified to have a greater effect on relieving pain by reducing tension on the origin of the extensor pronator muscles. OBJECTIVES To determine the immediate effects of a newly designed orthosis...
متن کاملA light-weight active orthosis for hip movement assistance
In the last decades, wearable powered orthoses have been developed with the aim of augmenting or assisting motor activities. In particular, among many applications, wearable powered orthoses have been also introduced in the state of the art with the goal of providing lower-limb movement assistance in locomotion-related tasks (e.g.: walking, ascending/descending stairs) in scenarios of activitie...
متن کاملStatic progressive stretching using a turnbuckle orthosis for elbow stiffness: a prospective study.
PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness of a turnbuckle orthosis as a means of improving the range of motion in patients with elbow stiffness. METHODS 17 males and 11 females aged 8 to 68 (mean, 32) years underwent static progressive stretching using a turnbuckle orthosis for elbow stiffness secondary to trauma or surgery. Patients were instructed to wear the orthosis during the daytime for a mea...
