Exo-esqueleto potenciador de fuerza para la mano : análisis de patrones funcionales e impresión 3d (fdm) de un prototipo exo-esqueleto de la mano. enfoque en la rehabilitación de agarre de la mano.

Abstract

The hand can be affected by lesions in the peripheral nervous system and or traumatological pathologies caused in different areas where the human being is immersed, the rehabilitation to which the human being proceeds allows to recover the functionality affected by the methods established by the specialist, for them it is it requires the help of an exo-skeleton or also called an orthosis, the same one that will be used by the patient. In the technological field there are different methods for the manufacture of an orthosis, the same one that is designed by specialists, having as against the method of manufacture of this for the reason of the detail or shape of the element. Currently there are technologies dedicated to additive manufacturing such as SLA, SLS, FDM, LOM, DLP that would be capable of carrying out this type of work, according to current advances in technology FDM is the most suitable for carrying out this, since its study has increased in these years either in the continuous updating of 3D printers or the creation of filaments suitable for use in different engineering applications. According to the selection of printing characteristics and material, a total printing of a hand orthosis will be carried out in order to later assemble it with metallic fastening elements, and with the help of data taken from anthropometric characteristics, be able to wear this orthosis most adult people.
