Desarrollo de un Prototipo de Bipedestador Dinámico para la Rehabilitación de Extremidades Inferiores

Translated title of the contribution: Development of a Dynamic Bipedal Walker Prototype for Lower Limb Rehabilitation

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

This study presents the development of a dynamic standing frame for the rehabilitation of patients with gait problems. It addresses the issue that the standing frames available on the international market do not fit the anthropometry of people in Latin America nor the specific needs of the patients, which can cause inconveniences and alterations in the human body. Key biomechanical variables of human gait are analyzed to define a mechanism that meets these variables and its effectiveness is verified. Subsequently, materials, geometry, and dimensions of the components are selected for construction, and a control system is established for the automation of the standing frame. Using engineering software such as ADAMS and Inventor, a thorough modeling and analysis of the device and its components is conducted, generating a complete kinetic and kinematic analysis. The main contribution of the work is to provide a device that meets the specific needs of the patient, ensuring functionality, aesthetics, and ergonomics, and becoming a reliable and accessible solution for patients in Ecuador. The research is quantitative and exploratory, based on numerical data on human gait and its pathologies, and compared with other existing systems to validate its effectiveness and reliability.
