Design of a Dynamic External Finger Fixator
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)This paper describes an improved design of an external fixator. The new fixator comprises 13 parts which are assembled together. The proposed device materials consist of polyether etherketone (PEEK) and stainless steel ... -
A Biologically Inspired Knee Actuator for a KAFO
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Knee–ankle–foot orthoses (KAFOs) are prescribed to improve abnormal ambulation caused by quadriceps weakness. There are three major types of KAFOs: passive KAFOs, semidynamic KAFOs, and dynamic KAFOs. Dynamic KAFOs are ... -
Dynamic Weighted Bar for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)This paper explores the design of a dynamically weighted therapy bar, which can provide realtime quantitative performance information and adjustments during rehabilitation exercise. In contrast, typical therapy equipment ... -
Design of a Soft Robotic Glove for Hand Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients With Clenched Fist Deformity Using Inflatable Plastic Actuators
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)In this paper, we present a soft robotic glove designed to augment hand rehabilitation for stroke patients with clenched fist deformity. The robotic glove provides active finger extension for hand rehabilitative training, ... -
Intradiscal Microprobe With a Vibrational Optical Fiber for Diagnosis and Thermal Therapy of Discogenic Pain Due to an Annular Fissure
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Major studies have shown that discogenic pain is the most common cause of chronic lower back pain, accounting for 40% of all the causes. Provocation discography—inducing pains by pressing nerve structures around the ... -
An Adjustable Single Degree of Freedom System to Guide Natural Walking Movement for Rehabilitation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)This paper presents a linkage system designed to guide a natural ankle trajectory with the corresponding foot orientation. A sixbar linkage was designed to coordinate the joint angles of an RR chain (R denotes a revolute ... -
