Diseño y construcción de un guante de rehabilitación de mano derecha para personas con distrofia muscular

Abstract

This project aims to design and construct a rehabilitative glove with the central purpose of enhancing the mobility of the right hand in individuals suffering from muscular dystrophy. The necessity for this innovation is rooted in the mobility challenges faced by these individuals, with the goal of providing an effective solution. The design and implementation phase of the glove involved a thorough investigation of rehabilitation devices available in the market. A detailed analysis of various options for materials, accessories, and equipment for the construction of the device was conducted. The selection of these components was based on criteria of effectiveness, safety, and functionality. The use of SolidWorks design software was instrumental in creating the different parts that constitute the structure of the glove. During this process, it was ensured that each component met the appropriate safety and strength standards for the selected material, thereby ensuring the quality and durability of the device. The effectiveness of the rehabilitative glove will undergo rigorous testing on an individual affected by muscular dystrophy in the right hand. These tests will be designed to assess improvements in mobility, user comfort, and overall effectiveness. The results obtained from these tests will not only validate the proper functioning of the glove but also provide crucial data for future optimizations and enhancements. The conclusions drawn from the tests will be pivotal in refining and perfecting the design, ensuring an effective and personalized solution.
