Biomechatronic Rehabilitation System

Overview

This project focuses on the design and development of a biomechatronic system aimed at the rehabilitation of patients with hand pathologies. The primary objective is to replicate the rehabilitation movements of patients through a robotic hand in the physiotherapist's clinic, enabling real-time monitoring of the patient's progress. The system combines image capture software tools with hardware that replicates the movements, offering a hybrid solution that optimizes both in-person and telematic sessions for patients and physiotherapists.

Features

• Real-time monitoring of rehabilitation movements.
• Hybrid solution combining in-person and remote sessions.
• Designed for patients on waiting lists for physical rehabilitation and those with reduced mobility.

Installation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following libraries installed:

• LX16A Library by danjperron
• Lewansoul LX-16A Library by maximkulkin

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/josepablopalmero/Thesis.git
   cd Thesis

2. Install the required libraries:

   pip install lx16a
   pip install lewansoul-lx16a

3. Run the main script:

   python main.py

Usage

1. Connect the robotic hand hardware as per the instructions in the hardware setup guide.
2. Launch the software application.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to start a rehabilitation session.
4. Monitor the real-time progress of the patient's rehabilitation movements.

Libraries Used

• LX16A Library by danjperron: A Python library to control LX-16A servos.
• Lewansoul LX-16A Library by maximkulkin: A Python package to interface with LewanSoul LX-16A servos.
