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:

Steps

  1. Clone the repository:

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