Robotic Spinal Brace
Concept
My idea is build an brace automated, to correct the posture and help on the treatment of the scoliosis.
The project
I started making some sketches, to understand what parts and how many parts I need design.
At this point, I think the brace need to be divided on three supports to be controlled. Well, to reduce the complexity, I'm thinking on a geometry like this.
That arrangement let me focus on the angle of rotation, while the distance between bracket levels has no changes.
The freedom degrees, needed to control one level are this 3:
The next step is make a 3D model of the brace. To start with the modeling, I made a digital dummy, approximating to my own RX.
With the information of the available servos that i can get, I made a first 3D model. Now I have a better idea of the available space on my design..
