Abstract

In this paper, a novel device intended to assist therapists in rehabilitation of the cervical spine poly-joint is proposed. Firstly, rehabilitation motion of the cervical spine is analysed. The poly-joint amplitude and the surface swept by the head are studied and recorded using a motion capture system. Based on these measurements and design constraints, an orthosis is proposed to allow an adaptability to several subject and confer a sufficient support of the head when performing the movements. The adopted structure is chosen among several proposals using a survey. The preliminary architecture of a proposed cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) is able to replicate all the movements. Moreover, the design of the end-effector as a universal joint simplifies the CDPR modelling by limiting the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) necessary to perform the various tasks. A kinetostatic model of the CDPR is conducted and the space statistically accessible inside its workspace is built.
