Biomechanics of Upper Limb Orthoses
INTRODUCTION Functional impairment of [parts of] the upper limb has many different expressions. Sound biomechanical analysis is at the basis of the management of the physical challenges involved. An outline of the basics of a mechanical systems approach is presented below. Orthoses are among the many treatment options for upper limb impairments. An orthosis can be defined as a mechanical constr...
متن کاملPowered lower limb orthoses for gait rehabilitation.
Bodyweight supported treadmill training has become a prominent gait rehabilitation method in leading rehabilitation centers. This type of locomotor training has many functional benefits but the labor costs are considerable. To reduce therapist effort, several groups have developed large robotic devices for assisting treadmill stepping. A complementary approach that has not been adequately explo...
متن کاملA body-powered functional upper limb orthosis.
This paper describes the development and preliminary testing of a functional upper-limb orthosis for people that have limited strength in their arms. This is symptomatic of conditions such as muscular dystrophy (MD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and partial spinal cord injury. The exoskeletal orthosis is wheelchair mounted, has two links and four degrees of freedom. It uses linear elastic ele...
متن کاملReview of assistive strategies in powered lower-limb orthoses and exoskeletons
Starting from the early research in 1960s, especially in the last two decades, orthoses and exoskeletons have been significantly developed. They are designed in different architectures to assist their users’ movements. The research literature has been more prolific on lower-limb devices: a main reason is that they address a basic but fundamental motion task, walking. Leg exoskeletons are simple...
متن کاملProgress on stabilizing and controlling powered upper-limb prostheses.
While the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development (JRRD) is often a repository for research conducted with a large subject population to compare and validate the devices and treatments used in rehabilitation, it is also a means to keep clinicians and researchers up to date on the development of new devices and treatments. This issue, addressing the problem of upper-limb loss, emphasi...
