Design of a New Elbow-Wrist Assisting Device ASSIST-EW. v1.
摘要
This paper presents the design and operation of the ASSIST-EW. v1, a cable-driven device that is specifically developed to assist elbow and wrist movements for the elderly, individuals with neurological disorders and neuromuscular diseases in assistance or rehabilitation. Structural fixtures, interconnected components, and materials of the proposed design highlight the integration of actuators, transmission mechanisms, and supporting elements. The design of the proposed motion-assisting device focuses on functional requirements and ergonomic constraints to ensure effective and user-friendly rehabilitation/exercise support.
