Oct 1, 2024 · Wrist flexed designs refer to the curved or angled shape of a device, typically a smartwatch or fitness tracker, that allows it to conform to the natural shape of the wrist. This design approach has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it provides a more comfortable and natural wearing experience for the user.

In this paper, we review the current state of the art of wrist devices, ranging from passive wrist prostheses to actu-ated robotic wrist devices. We focus on the mechanical design and kinematic arrangements of said devices and provide specifications when available.

For those that have a functional wrist with a full or partial palm, the e-NABLE Community has created a few designs that are able to function through the bending of the wrist which forces the fingers on the device to open and close.

To identify key user concerns in the interaction with WWDs, as well as to gain a better understanding of what can be improved in their design, we collected the user feedback about 11 existing devices, including fitness trackers, armbands, and smart watches. We then identified and analyzed the main issues currently faced by end users.

lightweight, portable, low-cost rehabilitation device for performing wrist exercises in stroke survivors. The proposed study shows the prototype design of a pneumatic technology-based wrist rehabilitation device. The experimental findings help individuals affected with post-stroke hemiplegia (hand impairment) to rebuild the muscle

In this paper, we describe the experience of the research and development team designing, implementing and evaluating Amulet - an open-hardware, open-software wrist-worn computing device - and its experience using Amulet to deploy mHealth apps in the field.

Recently, AM has been utilized to manufacture patient-specific, customized assistive devices in the field of rehabilitation. This work presents the design and development process of customized wrist-hand orthosis (WHO) elaborately using AM technology.

Jan 23, 2019 · In this paper, we review the current state of the art of wrist devices, ranging from passive wrist prostheses to actuated robotic wrist devices. We focus on the mechanical design and kinematic arrangements of said devices and provide specifications when available.

Jun 1, 2024 · Design and manufacture a wrist rehabilitation device for wrist joints that integrates with an interactive game. The game interface is designed so that users can easily adjust the game parameters depending on recovery status.

With these in mind, they designed and prototyped a 3D-printed powered wrist–hand grasping orthosis (exoskeleton) to aid in recovery. The orthosis is easily custom-sized based on two parameters and derived anatomical relationships.
