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 15 – February 22, 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- Design scripting of clinician testing/patient testing- Continue working on microprocessor programming- Work with designer (Martin Gutierrez) to make prototype more aesthetically pleasing- Finish game interfaceIndividual Goals:- Carly: Work on Scripting, Maintain communication with Michelle- 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, design summaries of communication (Microprocessor-PC-Motor loops), Summary 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 designs6) Submit safety description/new pictures to client7) Create final Solidworks files for Martin, for thermo-molding of new designDifficulties:Do not yet have the motor, IRB is not yet done being processed, can’t continue programming until motor arrives, Activities: Team Meeting 02/19/08 2 hoursDiscussed Script, design options and progress, and continuation of
