Resumen

La osteoartritis, una enfermedad articular degenerativa que afecta principalmente a mujeres mayores, impone importantes desafíos en la biomecánica articular, provocando dolor, deterioro funcional y debilidad muscular en las zonas afectadas. Una de las estrategias para el manejo de esta condición es la fisioterapia, que permite preservar la fuerza muscular. Actualmente, se desarrollan exoesqueletos para guiar la fisioterapia; sin embargo, estos suelen ser muy rígidos, costosos y pesados. Para superar estas limitaciones, este artículo propone un exoesqueleto basado en manufactura aditiva. Este dispositivo, caracterizado por movimiento mecánico y control electrónico, integra actuadores impresos en 3D con materiales flexibles, interconectados mediante un sistema de cables. Los mecanismos de control, conformados por un microcontrolador y un flexómetro, facilitan una coordinación precisa del movimiento, impulsada por un servomotor. El propósito de este dispositivo es proporcionar fisioterapia en el hogar a mujeres mayores de 65 años con osteoartritis de segundo grado en sus manos.
