Alarm device for self-tracking of progression during wrist rehabilitation

This study aims to design a device for patients requiring wrist rehabilitation. Wrist injury due to accident, sports accidents, stroke, and prolonged hand immobilization often requires physical therapy for rehabilitation to reduce pain, improve range of motion (ROM), and regain strength and function...

Civil engineering (General) This study aims to design a device for patients requiring wrist rehabilitation. Wrist injury due to accident, sports accidents, stroke, and prolonged hand immobilization often requires physical therapy for rehabilitation to reduce pain, improve range of motion (ROM), and regain strength and function.
