A shoulder-mounted robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation of temporomandibular disorder via assisted motion of the jaw

摘要: In this paper, a concept design for robotic exoskeleton the neurological rehabilitation of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is presented. The proposed system presents lightweight, portable solution aimed at promoting user engagement in process. A literature review into joint (TMJ) disorders and existing therapeutic devices has been undertaken, characterizing problems experienced by patients solutions offered current medical devices. Gaps research have identified study's findings used to determine objectives design. provides method delivering assisted therapy range TMD sufferers, incorporating visual feedback routines promote active participation. Mechatronic development both actuation motion control conducted, arriving final that meets needs patient community.
