    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology
    • Assistive Devices

    Background:

    • Cervical spinal cord injuries (SCI) frequently cause triceps weakness, limiting daily activities and high-demand tasks like sit-skiing.
    • Existing powered exoskeletons are often impractical due to bulky components and power requirements.
    • Passive upper extremity exoskeletons have not yet provided sufficient assistance for activities such as sit-skiing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design a passively actuated exoskeletal arm brace to assist individuals with SCI.
    • To provide adjustable strength modes for gravity compensation and weight-bearing activities.
    • To develop an affordable, lightweight, and modular device for personalized patient needs.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel passively actuated mechanism for an upper extremity exoskeleton.
    • Implementation of two adjustable-strength modes: low-level gravity compensation and higher-level weight-bearing assistance.
    • Focus on lightweight, modular design principles for patient customization.

    Main Results:

    • A functional passively actuated exoskeletal arm brace was designed and developed.
    • The device offers adjustable strength capabilities for varied user needs.
    • The design prioritizes affordability, light weight, and modularity.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed passive exoskeletal arm brace shows promise for assisting individuals with SCI in performing daily and demanding tasks.
    • This innovation offers a practical and customizable solution compared to existing powered devices.
    • Further research and development can lead to improved independence and quality of life for SCI patients.
