Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients
After deciding on proceeding with the slider design and doing the necessary calculations, we printed out the first prototypes for the index finger of our hand. As the original design had an extra degree of freedom, this gave rise to
We have decided to go ahead with the slider design for our exoskeleton. Figure 1: Recap of Slider Design In order to further prototype with this design, some preliminary calculations had to be done to ensure that Parts 1 and
We consolidated feedback from our mentors after presenting to them our preliminary design idea. For our improved design, we will have to take into account the following design factors that were previously not well-addressed: Kinematic Compatibility – The exoskeleton should
Overview of our preliminary design Figure 1: Overview of our preliminary design The microcontroller Arduino acts like the brain to send signals to determine what to do The servo motor and actuator systems act like the main muscle to carry
