Pneumatically-Actuated Device for Wrist Rehabilitation
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2013, Vol 14, Issue 40
Abstract
This paper submits a pneumatically actuated device, which may be used in the continuous passive motion, with a view to rehabilitating the wrist and the metacarpophalangeal joints. This equipment resorts, for actuation purposes, to a pneumatic muscle, which sets in motion the support whereon the palm rests. The palm support is based on the “Fin Ray Effect” concept. The device has been designed for the purpose of rehabilitating the joints of both hands.
