Diseño e implementación de una férula para personas con lesiones en la muñeca y del nervio radial

The present research project is intended to perform the control and electrostimulation in people who present radial nerve injuries, due to their disability of immobility of the wrist and hand and require to be attended daily by a physiotherapist, these rehabilitations if the patient is not attended on time can cause the injury to be prolonged or cause the total loss of mobility of the hand. For the design of the splint, surgical and textile steel materials were used that provide comfort to the patient, which will allow rehabilitation of movements from bottom to top and left to right of the wrist and hand with the help of two servomotors controlled from Matlab regardless of the type of injury that is present. To the rehabilitation system the patient must access with your username and password; it consists of a medical file and photographic capture which will be filled by the patient anywhere and then automatically sent to the database. The results obtained from the daily, weekly or monthly rehabilitation of the wrist and hand are displayed in excel using graphs and statistical percentages that will be controlled and administered by the physiotherapist in charge of the patient. For the total rehabilitation of the radial nerve is with the help of an electro stimulator, which was designed with a frequency of 18 and 83Hz with a triangular pulse train and an intensity of 7mA, which will be adapted in the forearm by two electrodes and activated by the flex sensor.
