Diseño de un prototipo de exoesqueleto para rehabilitación postquirúrgica del síndrome del túnel del carpo

This article shows the results of the design in SolidWorks, of a prototype to carry out post-surgical rehabilitation processes of carpal tunnel syndrome, in order to reduce patient recovery times and travel to medical centers where these activities are carried out. The design was made for a portable prototype of a 15 degrees of freedom (GDL) structure, which is subject to the movements of three joints, metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) for each of the fingers, except for the thumb that only has two (Distal and Proximal), additionally, for the wrist that has the radiocarpal, radio-ulnar and midcarpal joints that work together for flexion and extension movement.
