AKTİF BİR BİLEK ORTEZ TASARIMI VE ÜRETİMİ

Öz

Bu çalışma kapsamında dirsek bölgesinde tendon yırtığı veya inflamasyonu olan hastaların hem rehabilitasyonları için hem de günlük ve mesleki hayat aktivitelerinin devamı için kullanılabilecek bir aktif bilek ortezin tasarımı ve üretimi amaçlanmaktadır. Aktif bilek ortezi, ön kol ve bilek ile etkileşim halinde çalışabilen elektromekanik bir cihaz olucaktır. Bu cihaz, mesleği gereği gün içerisinde çok fazla tekrarlı bilek hareketleri yapmak zorunda kalan kimselerin bilek hareketlerine yardımcı olmak ve tıp literatüründe tenisçi ve golfçü dirseği olarak bilinen hastalıkların fizik tedavi uygulamaları için kullanılacaktır. Önerilen çalışmanın özgünlüğü, mesleğinden ötürü tekrarlı bilek hareketleri yapmak zorunda kalan kimselerin dirsek bölgelerinde oluşan tendon yırtığı hastalıkların önlenmesi veya tedavisi için kullanılabilecek, bileğe yüksek seviyelerde tork takviyesini yüksek hızlarda sağlayabilecek, mobil ve ergonomik bir bilek ortez tasarımı yapılacak olmasıdır. Çalışmanın temel hedefi tekrarlı bilek hareketi yapan kişilerin dirsek bölgelerinde oluşabilecek tendon yırtıklarının engellenmesi veya tedavisinin kolaylaştırılması için bir cihazın tasarımı ve üretimidir.
