Development of Wearable Wrist Rehabilitation Device Using Flexible Pneumatic Cylinders and Embedded controller
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, the rehabilitation devices using a soft pneumatic actuator for disabled are actively researched and developed because of the insufficient number of PT. In the previous study, the wrist rehabilitation device using flexible robot arm that consisted of three flexible pneumatic cylinders was proposed and tested. In this study, the wearable wrist rehabilitation device is proposed and tested. The attitude control based on the analytical model of the device is also carried out. As a result, it is confirmed that the device can trace the desired position in the condition when a human

Development of Flexible Pneumatic Cylinder with Backdrivability and Its Application
In the remote controlled rehabilitation device, physical therapists must recognize the situation of the patient. The actuator in the device is also required to be flexible so as not to injure the body. In our previous study, the flexible pneumatic cylinder was proposed and tested. The flexible robot arm using the cylinders for human wrist rehabilitation was also developed. In the next step, it ...
متن کاملWireless wearable controller for upper-limb neuroprosthesis.
The objective of this project was to develop a wireless, wearable joint angle transducer to enable proportional control of an upper-limb neuroprosthesis by wrist position. Implanted neuroprostheses use functional electrical stimulation to provide hand grasp to individuals with tetraplegia. Wrist position is advantageous for control because it augments the tenodesis grasp and can be implemented ...
متن کاملPneumatic Soft Actuator for Human Assist Technology
In the coming advanced age society, an innovative technology to assist the activities of daily living of elderly and disabled people and the heavy work in nursing is desired. To develop such a technology, an actuator safe and friendly for human is required. It should be small, lightweight and has to provide a proper softness. We call such an actuator soft actuator. A pneumatic rubber artificial...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Pneumatically-Driven Robotic Forceps with a Flexible Wrist Joint
The present paper describes a pneumatically-driven forceps manipulator for minimally-invasive robot surgery that has a simplified flexible wrist joint for easy fabrication, cost reduction and future miniaturization. The joint structure consists only of a machined spring, and four NiTi super-elastic wires fixed to the joint-end are actuated by pneumatic cylinders in push-pull motions. This mecha...
متن کاملDesign and control of a bio-inspired soft wearable robotic device for ankle-foot rehabilitation.
We describe the design and control of a wearable robotic device powered by pneumatic artificial muscle actuators for use in ankle-foot rehabilitation. The design is inspired by the biological musculoskeletal system of the human foot and lower leg, mimicking the morphology and the functionality of the biological muscle-tendon-ligament structure. A key feature of the device is its soft structure ...
