ABSTRACT

This interdisciplinary project develops advanced rehabilitation and prosthetic solutions to enhance the quality of life for individuals recovering from strokes or living with lower limb amputations. The Full-Hand Therapeutic Device helps stroke patients regain strength, dexterity, and sensory perception using robotics, sensors, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and AI. It supports therapies like constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and sensory re-education, offering personalized care and improving recovery outcomes. For lower limb amputees, a prosthetic designed for motorcycle riding combines biomechanics, adaptive technology, and user-centered design to replicate natural ankle movements for braking and gear shifting. Machine learning adapts the device to the user's movement patterns, ensuring comfort, safety, and stability. Through iterative testing and collaboration with amputee riders, the prosthetic empowers users to operate motorcycles confidently. Both devices emphasize innovation in rehabilitation and prosthetics, aiming to improve mobility, independence, and overall quality of life for diverse patient populations.
