Intervention area
Mobility
Start date
January 1, 2024
End date
September 30, 2025
The project aims to develop an open-source pediatric instrumented orthosis for the rehabilitation and assistance of shoulder and elbow movements. The system should be easy to manufacture and assemble, cost-effective, and easily reproducible by others on a non-for-profit basis. The orthosis will be powered using low-cost compact servomotors and will be monitored by kinetic and kinematic sensors.
