Design of a portable anthropomimetic upper limb rehabilitation device for patients suffering from neuromuscular disability.

An upper limb anthropomimetic rehabilitation device has been designed for patients suffering from a neuromuscular disability. The developed device has been designed as a wearable device and attempts to supplement all known functions of the human hand and fingers. The actuation of individual joints of the hand and wrist has been implemented by using DC motors interfaced to a control system.

Design of a real time portable low-cost multi-channel surface electromyography system to aid neuromuscular disorder and post stroke rehabilitation patients.

Surface and needle-based electromyography signals are used as diagnostic markers for detecting neuromuscular disorders. Existing systems that are used to acquire these signals are usually expensive and invasive in practice. A novel 8 channel surface EMG (sEMG) acquisition system is designed and developed to acquire signals for various upper limb movements in order to evaluate the motor impairment.

Design of a non-invasive pulse rate controlled deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis lower limb device.

Patients with lower limb dysfunctions have a risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) symptoms if they are in a sitting posture for a long duration. In addition, unconscious patients undergoing a long hour surgery are also prone to DVT problems which further complicates the health of the patient under treatment. A prototype design in the form of an assistive and portable device to overcome deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is developed for surgical and non-surgical applications.
