Rehabilitation of the Wrist and Hand Following Sports Injury

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2010
In sports, wrist and hand injuries are commonplace. Too often, injuries to these areas can be under-treated and left for further complications to arise. While some injuries to the wrist and hand can be treated conservatively with immediate return to play, others require a more in-depth assessment prior to return to play. This article describes the most

Design of Wrist Gimbal: A forearm and wrist exoskeleton for stroke rehabilitation

2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), 2013
In this paper, we present design, implementation and specifications of the Wrist Gimbal, a three degree-of-freedom (DOF) exoskeleton developed for forearm and wrist rehabilitation. Wrist Gimbal has three active DOF, corresponding to pronation/supination, flexion/extension and adduction/abduction joints. We mainly focused on a robust, safe and practical

Development of a rehabilitation robot for hand and wrist rehabilitation training

2015 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation, 2015
Up to now, the number of hemiplegia rehabilitation devices is increasing quickly along with hemiplegic patients'. But most of hand rehabilitation training just limit to the fingers flexible training of patients' affected hand. They not only ignore the importance of functional training of hand, but also wrist cooperative training during rehabilitation ...

Development of a Wrist Rehabilitation Game with Haptic Feedback

2023
Our hands are the primary body part to interact with objects around us and perform most daily activities. Consequently, a disability of the hand after a stroke or an injury is one of the most severe restrictions to an independent life. To regain the function of the hand, physical therapy is used.

Robot for Wrist Rehabilitation

2012
In this paper a cable-based system is presented for rehabilitation of the wrist movements. The proposed structure consists of one or two cables that allow the movement of abduction-adduction and flexion-extension with different limits of movement and speed.

Development of Wrist Bending Rehabilitation Robot

Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics, 2014
This paper describes the wrist bending rehabilitation robot using a four-axis force/moment sensor. The robot can be used to exercise the wrist bending rehabilitation for severe stroke patients lying in bed wards or at home. The manufactured four-axis force/moment sensor which can detect two directional force Fx, Fy and two directional moment Mx, My ...

Wrist and Hand Rehabilitation

2018
The wrist and hand comprises 27 bones with complex joint accessory movements to produce fluid motion. The wrist and hand are the most distal link in the kinetic chain involved in precision and finishing all strokes. Tennis involves repetitive use of the hand and wrist while holding a racquet, which may potentially contribute to pain and injury.
