Design a portable automated device that will facilitate hand rehabilitation in the acute phase (first three months) after stroke within a clinical setting; focus of rehabilitation will be supination/pronation movements of the wrist and gross flexion/extension of the fingers. Both active and passive movements will be focused on for rehabilitation, and the device should be able to simultaneously or independently assist rehabilitation of the two degrees of motion.
We have reached the end of another semester! Our project is currently awaiting IRB approval for human testing at Medical College of Wisconsin. We have completed construction of this edition of our prototype and have made major strides in the programming of the microprocessor.
