Design and simulation of a cable-driven elbow rehabilitation device

Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, the demand for effective rehabilitation technologies has grown. This study presents the AlmatyExoElbow system with a cable-driven exoskeleton for elbow rehabilitation with two degrees of freedom. The device was designed in SolidWorks CAD and tested in SolidWorks Motion to evaluate flexion/extension and pronation/supination trajectories. The design is simple, adaptable, and cost-effective, making it a promising candidate for future clinical integration and personalized therapy.
