Title: Device for acute rehabilitation of the paretic hand after stroke Team: Sasha Cai Lesher-Pérez (Leader) Carly Brown (Communicator) Lee Linstroth (BSAC) Nathan Kleinhans (BWIG) Date: October 12 – October 18, 2007 Project 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 for rehabilitation, and the device should be able to simultaneously or independently assist rehabilitation of the two degrees of motion. Restatement of Team Goals: • Work on IRB protocol (Carly) • Receive citi human training • Continue learning C++ programming software (Sasha Cai) • Think of design options for simultaneous movement (flex/ext and sup/pro) (Nathan, Lee, Sasha Cai) • Run tests on motor (Lee, Nathan, Sasha Cai) Individual Goals: • Carly: Finalize IRB protocol, communicate with client anything necessary else prior to final submission to review board, construction of hand flexion device • Lee: Construction of hand flexion device • athan: Construction of hand flexion device • Sasha Cai: Finished power point, working on microprocessor programming, construction of hand flexion device Summary of Accomplishments: 1) Submitted IRB protocol to client 2) Finished power point presentation and prepared presentation material 3) Purchased PVC for wrist rotator and hand flexion/extension device all together 4) Finished purchasing materials for hand flexion/extension device Difficulties: None Activities: Meeting with Advisor: 10/12/07 0.5 hoursTeam Meeting: 10/15/07 2 hours Team Meeting: 10/18/07 1
