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: March 28 – April 3, 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:- Install limiting switches into track system- Continue working on microprocessor programming- Work with designer (Martin Gutierrez) to make prototype more aesthetically pleasing- Finish game interface- Finish physical hardware- Work on Paper for EBMS conference- Install new motor- Finish programming with new motorIndividual Goals:- Carly: Work on Scripting, Maintain communication with Michelle, Begin paper for EBMS conference- Lee: Work on finish hand-grasper, design limiting switches for hand grasper- Nathan: Re-modeling of design, design limiting switches for hand grasper- Sasha Cai: Working on microprocessor programming, re-modeling of design, continue correspondence with Martin, finish limiting switch design, design summaries of communication (Microprocessor-PC-Motor loops),Summary of Accomplishments:1) Received Motor – began installing into system2) Created limiting switch system design, finalized track construction3) Met with Martin, received further design options4) Met with Client5) Setup Game interface for systemDifficulties:IRB is not yet done being processed, can’t continue programming until motor arrives, Activities: Sasha Cai 03/31/08 2 hoursWork with microprocessor and attempt to interpret encoder valuesSasha Cai 04/01/08 1.5 hoursContacted motor company received specs on encoders Sasha Cai 04/02/08 3.5 hoursRead and researched
