Abstract

Due to their restricted mobility, current commercial prosthetic devices for upper limb amputees could be inadequate to satisfactorily rehabilitate patients with the severest injuries, like shoulder-disarticulated patients. The aim of this study is to develop a mechanism which can replicate the function of the missing shoulder joint, increasing the mobility' of the current prosthesis and its overall performance. The mechanical design of the device is highly dependent on the clinical factors of the rehabilitation process: thus an approach which combines both clinical and technical aspects has been used and proposed. This paper summarizes the most significant design steps and describes the most promising solution studied.
上肢截肢者义肢肩部机构的机械设计
由于上肢截肢者的活动受限,目前商用的上肢假肢装置可能不足以令人满意地康复严重损伤的患者,如肩关节断裂的患者。本研究的目的是开发一种机制,可以复制缺失肩关节的功能,增加现有假体的机动性及其整体性能。该装置的机械设计高度依赖于康复过程的临床因素:因此,一种结合临床和技术方面的方法已经被使用和提出。本文总结了最重要的设计步骤,并描述了研究的最有前途的解决方案。
