Simulation of Rehabilitation Therapies for Brachial Plexus Injury Under the Influence of External Actuators

Abstract

This work presents the modeling of the MX-64 and RX-64 servomotors from Robotis® and the analysis of their influence in some biomechanical movements for the rehabilitation of the upper brachial plexus injury. The model of each motor was introduced in a musculoskeletal model of the upper limb in order to compare their response and contribution in the movements made by a patient. The results have verified the feasibility of using these servomotors in an exoskeleton for the rehabilitation process of the injury.
