Design and Analysis of a Pneumatically operated exoskeleton for orthopedic rehabilitation

This project involves creating a portable, lightweight pneumatically driven exoskeleton for upper-arm rehabilitation, focusing on the elbow joint. The goal is to design an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable device. It integrates electronic drivers, a pneumatic circuit, and mechanical power transmission to mimic elbow movement. The exoskeleton provides controlled forearm lifting in about 39 seconds at 12 psi pressure and can operate continuously for approximately 13 hours, making it suitable for rehabilitation. It's scalable for different arm sizes and comfortable for daily wear.
