Diseño conceptual de un dispositivo para rehabilitación del cuello : Diseño conceptual de un robot paralelo para aplicación de rehabilitación de cuello.

Abstract

The conceptual design of a parallel robot for neck and head rehabilitation focuses on meeting user needs and supporting the recovery process. This design ensures controlled, essential, and precise movements in the affected area, using a modular structure that provides adaptability, flexibility, safety, and feedback during rehabilitation. The robot system includes multiple actuators that manage movements along body axes, offering a wide range of therapeutic motions. Its main components, such as articulated arms, position and force sensors, and an intuitive interface for therapists, allow for easy configuration and monitoring of sessions. Advanced control algorithms ensure smooth and safe movements, minimizing the risk of injury. Lightweight yet durable materials, like aluminum alloys or carbon fiber composites, are used to ensure durability and ease of use. The ergonomic design maximizes user comfort and safety. Additionally, a preventive maintenance system is proposed to extend the robot's lifespan and ensure continuous and reliable operation. In summary, this parallel robot provides a powerful and adaptable tool to improve patients' quality of life, enabling faster and more effective recovery through safe and efficient rehabilitation sessions.
