| description | This paper focuses on the development of a measurement hand gripper to help handicap patient due to accident and
diseases. Basically, when the patient needed to perform exercises they must get an appointment with a doctor. Normally this
will take few weeks or months. This is because the rehabilitation devices at Physiotherapy Department in hospital are very
limited. From this problem, we suggest to develop a reasonably cheap home-based rehabilitation measurement devices which
can perform the task of assisting paralyze patient at home. The basic movement of the patient was limited from a wrist, elbow
and shoulder. The development of this project involves the designing of a sensors equipped Smart Glove and a measurement
hand gripper device. The hand gripper device will move based on a human operator’s finger movement using the Smart Glove.
The purpose of our project is to design and develop a master-slave system robotic hand which can be a substitution for the
paralyzed hand in therapy to aid in recovery process of patients upper limb function. The project involves an Arduino
microcontroller for the instrumentation, communication and controlling applications. A series of flex sensors are fitted in a
master glove to get readings from the movement of human fingers. Microcontroller will further use this information to control
multiple servos that controls the movement of slave robotic hand. |
