Orthesis for upper limb rehabilitation.

Description: The project aims to develop an advanced rehabilitation orthosis for individuals with upper limb spasticity and those requiring intensive hand therapy. The innovation lies in the integration of electronics—such as servomotors and microcontrollers—to support and control hand and finger movements in line with anatomical biomechanics. The orthosis enables precise motion in the finger and wrist joints, enhancing rehabilitation and aiding with daily tasks like gripping. The goal is to create a functional, comfortable device suitable for everyday use.

The project aims to develop an advanced rehabilitation orthosis for individuals with upper limb spasticity and patients requiring intensive hand rehabilitation. The innovation of the solution lies in the use of electronics, including servomotors and microprocessors, which enable the support and control of hand and finger movements, taking into account anatomical biomechanics. The orthosis design allows for precise replication of movements in the interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, and wrist joints, optimizing the rehabilitation process and assisting with daily manual functions. The goal is to create a functional and comfortable orthosis suitable for everyday use. Advanced electronics will not only support the rehabilitation process but also facilitate daily tasks such as gripping
