Design of a prototype of hand orthosis with pneumatic actuators
In Costa Rica, there has been an increasing need for prosthetic and orthotic devices in the last years, especially in populations with diabetes, cerebral palsy, and people over 65 years old, some of the devices are developed in the country, however, others such as hand orthoses are rarely produced i...

RepoTEC120782020-09-25T23:12:54Z Design of a prototype of hand orthosis with pneumatic actuators Diseño de un prototipo de órtesis para mano con actuadores neumáticos Tortós-Vinocour, Pablo Enrique Valverde-Gutiérrez, Sofia Vílchez-Moge, Marta Eugenia Orthosis pneumatic actuation cerebral palsy soft robotics Órtesis actuación neumática parálisis cerebral robótica suave In Costa Rica, there has been an increasing need for prosthetic and orthotic devices in the last years, especially in populations with diabetes, cerebral palsy, and people over 65 years old, some of the devices are developed in the country, however, others such as hand orthoses are rarely produced in the region. The use of soft robotics in the replica of human movement has been growing. By considering the work done by Deimel and Brock[3] and the Simulation Bioengineering Laboratory(SIBILA) it is intended to develop a soft hand orthosis for a patient with cerebral palsy, who has problems grasping objects with his right hand. This project aims to improve grip strength and finger position for the patient. The project is divided in 3 parts: replica of the patient’s hand, elaboration of pneumatic muscles and the elaboration of a voice control system. The result is a pneumatic actuation that allows to grip objects with different shapes and gives strength to the fingers, in addition to this, the orthosis fits the model of the patient’s hand. In conclusion, it is recommended to optimize the design of the muscles with a silicone that is more resistant and a thicker reinforcement helix. Also, it is recommended to start carrying out the tests of the orthosis with the model of the hand inside it. En Costa Rica, en los últimos años se registró un aumento en la necesidad de dispositivos protésicos y ortésicos, en poblaciones con diabetes, parálisis cerebral y adulta mayor, algunos de los dispositivos son elaborados en el país, sin embargo, otros como las ortesis de mano son raramente producidos en la región. El uso de robótica suave en la réplica del movimiento humano ha venido en crecimiento,por lo que tomando en cuenta lo desarrollado por Deimel and Brock[3] y en el Laboratorio de Simulación y Bioingeniería(SIBILA) se pretende crear una órtesis de mano con robótica suave para un paciente con parálisis cerebral, el cual tiene problemas para asir objetos con su mano derecha. Se busca mejorar la fuerza de agarre y la posición de los dedos. El proyecto se divide en 3 partes: desarrollo de una réplica de la mano del paciente, elaboración de los músculos neumáticos y elaboración de un sistema de control por voz. El resultado es una órtesis de actuación neumática que permite asir objetos de distintas formas y brinda fuerza a los dedos, además la órtesis se ajusta al modelo de la mano del paciente. Se recomienda utilizar un silicon e hilo más resistente, además de realizar pruebas con el guante colocado sobre la réplica de la mano. 2020-03-27 2020-09-25T23:12:54Z 2020-09-25T23:12:54Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/5085 10.18845/tm.v33i5.5085 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/12078 eng https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/5085/4806 application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica (entidad editora) Tecnología en marcha Journal; 2020: Vol. 33 especial.
