Evaluation of Commercial Ropes Applied as Artificial Tendons in Robotic Rehabilitation Orthoses

Evaluation of Commercial Ropes Applied as Artificial Tendons in Robotic Rehabilitation Orthoses

This study aims to present the design, selection and testing of commercial ropes (artificial tendons) used on robotic orthosis to perform the hand movements for stroke individuals over upper limb rehabilitation. It was determined the load applied in the rope would through direct measurements perform...
