This article analyzes different trajectories that different patients take when performing knee rehabilitation movements, which are flexion-extension movements in the supine position, analyzing the trajectory taking the patient’s ankle as a reference point, aiming to design a mechanism that can offer a solution to the following more than one trajectory issue, which will allow it to be used for more than one movement, in more than one patient.
In order to contribute to the rehabilitation of people losing the ability to perform all or part of the upper limb joint movements, especially in hand at the level of the phalanges, carpal and wrist; caused by degenerative or traumatic diseases, in which affected the movements of flexion-extension, rotation; we designed a simple device for therapy, which allows the patient selfemployment. Currently, angular measurement tests are conducted with adult patients without pathologies and with congenital and degenerative diseases of the hand, to create a model based on the needs of the adult population in Colombia.Con el objetivo de contribuir en la rehabilitación de personas que pierden la capacidad de realizar total o parcialmente los movimientos articulares de miembro superior, especialmente en la mano a nivel de las falanges, carpo y muñeca; ocasionados por enfermedades degenerativas o traumáticas , en las que se ven afectados los movimientos de flexión-extensión, rotación. Se diseñó un dispositivo sencillo para terapia, que permite el trabajo autónomo del paciente. Actualmente se realizan pruebas de medición angular con pacientes adultos sin patologías y con enfermedades congénitas y degenerativas de la mano, para crear un modelo acorde a las necesidades de la población adulta colombiana.Palabras claves --Terapia de nudillo, terapia de falange, terapia de muñeca, terapia de mano, equipo de tratamiento, articulaciones.
