This preliminary study explores the design of a cable exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of elbow flexion-extension movement, with the aim of improving the recovery of motor functions in patients with upper limb disabilities. The device uses a motorised cable system for precise control of movement, optimising the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The design features a loop structure, conceived to optimise cable routing, minimising friction and interference during movement. This solution improves the adaptability of the device, while ensuring a balance between mechanical efficiency and patient comfort. The combination of the versatility of parallel-cable robots and the adaptive capabilities of exoskeletons allows for customised and targeted treatment. Preliminary results suggest that this inexpensive and portable technology could improve motor autonomy and accelerate recovery, although challenges remain in customisation and ensuring greater patient comfort.

摘要

This preliminary study explores the design of a cable exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of elbow flexion-extension movement, with the aim of improving the recovery of motor functions in patients with upper limb disabilities. The device uses a motorised cable system for precise control of movement, optimising the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The design features a loop structure, conceived to optimise cable routing, minimising friction and interference during movement. This solution improves the adaptability of the device, while ensuring a balance between mechanical efficiency and patient comfort. The combination of the versatility of parallel-cable robots and the adaptive capabilities of exoskeletons allows for customised and targeted treatment. Preliminary results suggest that this inexpensive and portable technology could improve motor autonomy and accelerate recovery, although challenges remain in customisation and ensuring greater patient comfort.
