Design of a Device Using for Upper Limb Rehabilitation of Post-stroke Patients ULCPM1024

Acknowledging the critical importance of post-stroke care, particularly in rehabilitating upper limb function, our team recognizes the necessity for a passive rehabilitation support device. Based on the five stages of post-stroke care, with a specific focus on Stages 2: Inpatients Rehabilitation, and Stages 3: At-Home Health Care, we have developed a sophisticated 10-degree-of-freedom support exoskeleton that emerges as a pivotal intervention. This device is intricately designed to address the diverse needs of stroke survivors, encompassing individuals across various phases of recovery, from the treatment stage to the rehabilitation stages. At the heart of the device’s functionality lie its articulated joints, ingeniously powered by a harmonics gearbox and brushless electric motors. This innovative mechanism enables the exoskeleton to faithfully replicate the intricate range of motion of the human arm with precision and fidelity. By closely emulating the natural biomechanics of the upper limb, the device seamlessly integrates into the patients’s daily routines, augmenting the effectiveness of rehabilitation endeavors. Furthermore, the exoskeleton offers unparalleled adaptability through adjustable link lengths, ensuring a bespoke fit for each user. Constructed primarily from lightweight aluminum or Inox, it strikes a delicate balance between robustness and maneuverability, facilitating ease of operation for both patients and caregivers alike. The design philosophy underpinning the exoskeleton prioritizes not only functional efficacy but also user comfort and convenience. Its ergonomic design and intuitive controls empower stroke survivors to engage confidently in physical therapy execises, whether in rehabilitation centers or within the familiar confines of their homes. This rehabilitation support device could represent a significant step forward in post-stroke care for both lying and sitting patients. Providing personalized and comprehensive assistance through out the rehabilitation process, it offers the potential to greatly improve functional outcomes and elevate the overall quality of life for stroke survivors. With its innovative design and focus on patient well-being, the exoskeleton embodies the harmonious convergence of technology and therapeutic intervention in the journey towards optimal recovery and rehabilitation.
