Implementación de un equipo de mecanoterapia automatizado para el tratamiento de lesiones de rodilla

Abstract

This project Implementation of an automated mechanotherapy equipment for the treatment of knee related injuries'' aims to benefit people with such injuries, which need physical therapy to recover at home. For this purpose, a device was implemented that allows to perform the physical therapy of the knee in an autonomous way, which can be controlled through a screen in the device or through a remote control which will allow the person to control the movement of the rehabilitation device by him/herself. The SolidWorks software was used for the design of the equipment; linear actuators, sensors and a Rasberry as the main controller were used to generate the movement.
