Description:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be applied to study the effects of rehabilitation strategies for neuroscience research. An MRI-wrist robot is designed and used as a clinical tool to examine the process of the brain plasticity changes. In this robot, the patient actuation is accomplished with two standard air cylinders, located inside the MRI chamber with two degrees of freedom (flexion-extension and ulna-radial deviation) with pneumatic air transmission, consisting of simple mechanism...
