Team Goals:Title: Device for acute rehabilitation of the paretic hand after strokeTeam: Sasha Cai Lesher-Pérez (Leader)Carly Brown (Communicator)Lee Linstroth (BSAC)Nathan Kleinhans (BWIG)Date: February 8 – February 14, 2008Project Design Statement: Design a portable automated device that will facilitate hand rehabilitation in the acute phase (first three months) after stroke within a clinical setting; focus of rehabilitation will be supination/pronation movements of the wrist and gross flexion/extension of the fingers. Both active and passive movements will be focused on forrehabilitation, and the device should be able to simultaneously or independently assist rehabilitation of the two degrees of motion. Team Goals:- Finish design for incorporation of limiting switches- Met with Client- Design scripting of clinician testing/patient testing- Continue working on microprocessor programming- Work with designer (Martin Gutierrez) to make prototype more aesthetically pleasing- Submit safety description/new pictures to client- Finish game interface- Purchase motor- Create final Solidworks files for Martin, for thermo-molding of new designIndividual Goals:- Carly: Work on padding for design, finish improved Solidworks with all exact measurements for Martin- Lee: Work on finish hand-grasper, work on scripts for clinician/patient testing-meetings, assist in programming for game interface- Nathan: Re-modeling of design, programming for game interface- Sasha Cai: Working on microprocessor programming, re-modeling of design, continue correspondence with Martin, finish limiting switch design, designsummaries of communication (Microprocessor-PC-Motor loops), create team guidelines, submit safety improvements and pictures to clientSummary of Accomplishments:1) Met with client – discussed IRB situation, design options and progress2) Purchased motor3) Created limiting switch system design, began construction of design4) Met with Martin, received further design options5) Finalized exact Solidworks designsDifficulties:Do not yet have the motor, IRB is not yet done being processed, can’t continue programming until motor arrives, Activities: Lee and Sasha Cai 02/08/08 1 hourMet with Client, discussed options of case study, what was needed to expeditethe IRB approval and options/necessities – such as scripts and demonstration of script efficacy for MichelleSasha Cai: 02/08/08 1 hourDiscussed aesthetic designs with Martin, came up with new sketches, discussed ideas of new thermo-molding of a finalized clinical versionSasha Cai: 02/09/08 1.5 hoursMet with Martin, reviewed new sketches he came up with, looked at possibilities of new construction, discussed what he would need from usSasha Cai, Carly, Lee: 02/11/08 1 hourFilled Carly in on meeting with Client, discussed timelines and allocated responsibilitiesSasha Cai 02/13/08 3 hoursFinished construction of plates for limiting switches – only assembly requiredCarly: 02/14/08 2 hoursFinished exact replica of prototype in Solidworks – sent to MartinSasha Cai 02/14/08 2 hoursWorked on programming loop designs to send to Matt to look over, also sent matt programming construction as of now and information on the
