Design of High Torque Elbow Joint for Above Elbow Prosthesis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Above Elbow Prosthesis is one of the most commonly amputated or missing limbs. The research is done for modelling techniques of upper limb prosthesis and design of high torque, light weight and compact in size elbow actuator. The purposed actuator consists of a DC motor, planetary gear set and a harmonic drive. The calculations show that the actuator is good enough to be used in real life powered prosthetic upper limb or rehabilitation exoskeleton. Keywords—Above Elbow prosthesis, Harmonic drive, Planetary gear set, Sagittal Plane

Functional Design Of A Transmission For A Myoelectric Elbow Prosthesis
Many artificial arms include myoelectric hands and passive elbows. Myoelectric elbows can profitably substitute the passive ones only if they can guarantee: durability, low noise, adequate torque, low power consumption, low weight, easy motion control and natural movements. Most of these objectives can be reached by good mechanical design of the system. Mechanical efficency of the mechanism is ...
متن کاملInfluence of Kinesio Taping applied over biceps brachii on isokinetic elbow peak torque. A placebo controlled study in a population of young healthy subjects.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) applied over the biceps brachii on maximal isokinetic elbow torque. DESIGN This study followed a single-blinded, placebo controlled, repeated measures design. METHODS Isokinetic eccentric and concentric elbow peak torques were evaluated without taping (NT), with KT or placebo taping (PT) in 20 healthy participants. Furthermore, all...
متن کاملJoint torque utilization in throwing darts
In this study, we investigate the relationship between the skill level of subjects and their utilization of joint torque components, i.e., muscular torque, interaction torque and gravity torque. Results show that the subjects whose scores are high utilize the interaction torque of the elbow joint without shoulder displacement. Keywords— darts throwing, motion capturing, interaction torque
متن کاملNew Approch for Elbow Prosthesis Technology
Elbow is a bone joint having a single axis and performing two movements: flexion and extension. Because this axis, passing through trochlea and humerus, is not perfectly transversal, but oriented from outside to inside, forward to backward and from up to low, during the two movements the forearm and the arm form an opened angle. Consequently, the complex movement guided around this axis suppose...
