forearm/wrist rehabilitation functionality to the UCI BONES exoskeleton robot and to the ArmeoSpring rehabilitation device. SUE is a 2-DOF serial chain that can measure and assist forearm supination-pronation and wrist
The robot described in this paper, SUE (Supinator Extender), adds forearm/wrist rehabilitation functionality to the UCI BONES exoskeleton robot and to the ArmeoSpring rehabilitation device. SUE is a 2-DOF serial chain that can measure and assist forearm supination-pronation and wrist flexion-extension. The large power to weight ratio of pneumatic actuators allows SUE to achieve the forces neede...
متن کاملUlnar plating for the treatment of unstable fractures of the forearm in children.
Different methods of internal fixation are used to treat unstable forearm fractures in children. Results of single bone fixation are comparable to those with both bone fixations with a lesser morbidity. Eighteen skeletally immature patients with unstable forearm fractures were treated by ulnar plating. There were 13 boys (72.3%) and five girls. The mean age was 10.7 years at the time of injury....
متن کاملFlexor carpi ulnaris tendon transfer to the split brachioradialis tendon to restore supination in paralytic forearms.
Inability to actively supinate the forearm makes common activities of daily living and certain vocational activities awkward or impossible to perform. A total of 11 patients with deficient supination of the arm underwent transfer of the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris to the split tendon of brachioradialis with its bony insertion into the radial styloid left intact. Active supination beyond neut...
متن کاملNew Design of a Soft Robotics Wearable Elbow Exoskeleton Based on Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuators
The elbow joint is a complex articulation composed of the humeroulnar and humeroradial joints (for flexion-extension movement) and the proximal radioulnar articulation (for pronation-supination movement). During the flexion-extension movement of the elbow joint, the rotation center changes and this articulation cannot be truly represented as a simple hinge joint. The main goal of this project i...
متن کاملLimited forearm motion compensated by thoracohumeral kinematics when performing tasks requiring pronation and supination.
This study investigates the altered thoracohumeral kinematics when forearm rotation is restricted while performing five activities requiring pronation and supination. Two splints simulated both a fixed-supinated or fixed-neutral forearm in six healthy subjects; the three-dimensional coupled relationship among motion about the forearm, elbow, and shoulder were analyzed. In using a screwdriver, t...
