Final Year Project

Project Title

Cost Effective Electrically Powered Wrist-Hand Automated Orthotic Exoskeleton

Description

The project aims to help bring back finger movements of a post-stroke patient. The final deliverable of this project is a product that gives the patient a sense of achievement, dependency and a boost of hope. While improving their physical health and bringing back muscle control. Our approach to solving this problem is explained below: Signal Acquisition: Off-the-shelf module designing a module Control of one type of grip. Power grip was chosen as it is low precision movement because they use the bulk of the hand for force generation rather than the strength of individual fingers. Extending Control to individual movements. More freedom and types of grips to dimensional thumb movements. All of this is being done in collaboration with AKUH and their occupational therapist.
