Development and Implementation of Model in MATLAB for Hand Rehabilitation

This study describes a method for measuring flexion and extension motions in the hand, which is crucial for healing and restoring a complete range of motion following accidents. Precise control is essential because of the human hand's intricate anatomy, which consists of various bones and joints. The method replicates the trajectories of the five fingers, emphasizing their position, speed, acceleration, and torque at four crucial structural points: four fingers that stretch to 90 degrees and then return to 0 degrees, with the thumb creating a 20-degree angle, a crucial initial position for successful recovery. The ability to simulate these trajectories is essential for correctly tracking patients' progress and customizing rehabilitation treatments, both of which improve patient care and rehabilitation outcomes.

Abstract

This study describes a method for measuring flexion and extension motions in the hand, which is crucial for healing and restoring a complete range of motion following accidents. Precise control is essential because of the human hand's intricate anatomy, which consists of various bones and joints. The method replicates the trajectories of the five fingers, emphasizing their position, speed, acceleration, and torque at four crucial structural points: four fingers that stretch to 90 degrees and then return to 0 degrees, with the thumb creating a 20-degree angle, a crucial initial position for successful recovery. The ability to simulate these trajectories is essential for correctly tracking patients' progress and customizing rehabilitation treatments, both of which improve patient care and rehabilitation outcomes.
