causing the bones to rub together. This leads to inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis most commonly affects the joints in the arms and legs, including joints of fingers, wrists, knees,
Variable Stiffness Actuation (VSA) is an efficient, safe, and robust actuation technology for bionic robotic joints that have emerged in recent decades. By introducing a variable stiffness elastomer in the actuation system, the mechanical-electric energy conversion between the motor and the load could...
The microactuator is an asymmetric electrostatic plate actuator with several fingers n in in-plane direction, which can generate comparatively high forces. The force of the actuator 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟Factuator can be calculated according to Equation (1): 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡...
The inverse kinematic measurements played a vital role as a control observer, dynamically adjusting the geometric positions of fingers and joints to ensure precise grasping and manipulation while moving objects. Key considerations in our hand design include the following: The robotic hand is equipped ...
Existing tendon-driven fingers have applied force control through independent tension controllers on each tendon, i.e. in the tendon-space. The coupled kinematics of the tendons, however, cause such controllers to exhibit a transient coupling in their response. This problem can be resolved by alter...
Such as dressing, washing, brushing hair, getting out of bed or rising from a chair. e Typically, arthritis of patients with PMR is most commonly asymmetrical, mild, non-erosive and affects peripheral joints, particularly knees and wrists, appearing in 23–39% of the cases. ...
Dynamic splinting is commonly used in the post-operative period for the prevention or treatment of motion stiffness/loss in the knee, elbow, wrist or finger. It is not generally used in other joints such as the hip, ankle or foot.
