    Four new assistive devices were developed for spinal cord injury patients. These aids include an elbow extension orthosis, a splint, a writing aid, and a urinary device, enhancing daily living activities.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Assistive Technology
    • Spinal Cord Injury Management

    Background:

    • Patients with spinal cord injuries often face challenges in performing daily activities.
    • Existing assistive devices may not fully meet the diverse needs of individuals with spinal cord injuries.
    • Innovation in rehabilitation technology is crucial for improving patient independence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe four novel assistive devices developed for patients with spinal cord injuries.
    • To highlight the practical application of these aids in a clinical setting.
    • To showcase advancements in assistive technology for spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a dynamic elbow extension orthosis.
    • Modification of a flexor hinge splint for improved functionality.
