运动障碍者被动进食辅助装置的机械设计改进
Mechanical Design Improvement of a Passive Device to Assist Eating in People Living with Movement Disorders
摘要：
许多患有神经系统疾病的人，如脑瘫，中风，肌肉萎缩症或肌张力障碍，都会出现上肢损伤（肌肉痉挛，失去选择性运动控制，肌肉无力或震颤），并且难以独立进食。该项目的总体目标是开发一种新的辅助进食装置，旨在稳定运动障碍患者的运动。该设备的第一次迭代在患有脑瘫的儿童中得到了验证，并显示出有希望的结果。然而，这一验证指出了重要的缺点。本文提出了一个迭代的设计，其中包括一个新的机制，减少所需的手臂海拔，提高安全性，通过一个符合器具附件，并提高阻尼和其他静态平衡因素。
英文摘要：
Many people living with neurological disorders, such as cerebral palsy, stroke, muscular dystrophy or dystonia experience upper limb impairments (muscle spasticity, loss of selective motor control, muscle weakness or tremors) and have difficulty to eat independently. The general goal of this project is to develop a new device to assist with eating, aimed at stabilizing the movement of people who have movement disorders. A first iteration of the device was validated with children living with cerebral palsy and showed promising results. This validation however pointed out important drawbacks. This paper presents an iteration of the design which includes a new mechanism reducing the required arm elevation, improving safety through a compliant utensil attachment, and improving damping and other static balancing factors.
