Resumen:
Enfermedades como el reumatismo pueden limitar la movilidad de los dedos, impidiendo a las personas afectadas realizar sus actividades diarias adecuadamente y requiriendo rehabilitación motora. Este trabajo presenta un dispositivo de terapia activa para mejorar dicha movilidad mediante trayectorias personalizadas, adaptadas a la morfología y rigidez de cada dedo (excepto el pulgar). A diferencia de los exoesqueletos, que no se ajustan bien a dedos desalineados ni consideran variaciones individuales, este diseño tipo efector final sostiene únicamente la yema del dedo, permitiendo movimientos tridimensionales específicos. La variabilidad anatómica y los distintos niveles de rigidez derivados de traumatismos justifican un enfoque personalizado, en el que tanto la fuerza aplicada como la trayectoria varían según cada usuario. Un sistema de control basado en lógica difusa permite calcular el par adecuado para guiar el movimiento del dedo durante la terapia, contribuyendo a una rehabilitación más segura, eficaz y ajustada a las condiciones de cada individuo.
