Redesign of a Balance Rehabilitation Device Based on a Parallel Continuum Mechanism
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In the present work, a parallel continuum manipulator for trunk rehabilitation tasks for patients who have suffered a stroke was analyzed and redesigned. The manipulator had to perform active assistance exercises for the motor recovery of the patient. Based on this background, a series of requirements were defined, which determined the design framework during the modeling of the manipulator. Finally, an improved prototype was built and tested to verify that the model can properly characterize the behavior of the manipulator. Such tests were carried out using a self-made dummy that replicates the simplifying hypotheses and conditions assumed in the mathematical model.
