Desarrollo de prótesis dinámica en pacientes con limitación en la porción distal de la extremidad superior.

Abstract

In this work, a 3D design of a dynamic prosthesis will be developed that adapts to the disability of the upper limb specifically of the hand that a person can present, be it congenital or acquired dis ability and thus be able to improve the quality of life of these people. nas. This in order to contrib ute to the reintegration of disabled people into social life and in search of total independence. To the designed prosthesis a control system for the grip and manipulation of objects will be im plemented. This control is performed with an embedded system, this will control the prosthesis by acquiring electromyography signals that are conditioned and filtered to obtain a better signal. This project generates a great impact in the social and environmental fields, since with this work we contribute to the reintegration of disabled people into social life, and on the other hand, the materials we use to make the prosthesis are biodegradable materials. that contribute to the care of the environment.
