This paper presents the design of AlmatyExoElbow, a lightweight cable-driven exoskeleton designed to support elbow motion in rehabilitation and assistance applications. The device is based on the principles used in L-CADEL-type systems, including a compact mechatronic structure, ergonomic design, and modular architecture. Unlike earlier single-DOF solutions, AlmatyExoElbow implements two DOFs (flexion/extension and pronation/supination), which increases the functional relevance for daily activities. Special attention is paid to anthropometric adaptation for the local population and feedback from regional experts. The paper presents a detailed biomechanical consideration and design requirements for the device. A 3D CAD model and kinematic diagram are provided, which serve as a basis for future experimental validation.

摘要

This paper presents the design of AlmatyExoElbow, a lightweight cable-driven exoskeleton designed to support elbow motion in rehabilitation and assistance applications. The device is based on the principles used in L-CADEL-type systems, including a compact mechatronic structure, ergonomic design, and modular architecture. Unlike earlier single-DOF solutions, AlmatyExoElbow implements two DOFs (flexion/extension and pronation/supination), which increases the functional relevance for daily activities. Special attention is paid to anthropometric adaptation for the local population and feedback from regional experts. The paper presents a detailed biomechanical consideration and design requirements for the device. A 3D CAD model and kinematic diagram are provided, which serve as a basis for future experimental validation.
