Mechanical design of the active orthosis

T. Ripel, J. Krejsa
pages 1103 - 1107, full text

The paper proposes the design of mechanical components of the device for fully automated rehabilitation of elbow post intra-articular fractures further refered as the active orthosis. Motorized orthoses, which are at present used in physiotherapy, are mostly static and sturdy devices usually fixed with the chair. Active orthosis is (beside more efficient treatment) lighter, more comfortable and easier to handle with, which put specific requirements for its mechanical construction.
