Abstract
La siguiente memoria de ingeniería en diseño de productos se desarrolla en el ámbito de las prótesis, específicamente para el caso de amputación con desarticulación de codo a nivel del brazo.
Este trabajo se realizó en conjunto con David Campbell, junto al usuario y mandante, Gonzalo Zamora, el cual se vio en la necesidad de solicitar una prótesis nueva de tipo mioeléctrica, ya que la actual de tipo mecánica de pinza no le otorga la comodidad ni seguridad suficientes para sus tareas cotidianas.
El trabajo se divide en dos áreas, una enfocada en la estructura de la prótesis y la otra en la parte electrónica que se encargara de generar los movimientos. Lo primero a cargo de Paloma Maldonado y lo segundo de David Campbell.
Para el desarrollo del trabajo se utilizó la metodología de doble diamante, donde se inició con la recopilación de información, principalmente mediante entrevistas a expertos del área de la salud y electrónica. Lo recopilado en torno al área de la salud fue clave para el adecuado desarrollo del proyecto, además de que permitió sentar sus bases. Adicionalmente se analizó el estado del arte en torno a las prótesis como punto de referencia.
En torno al área de estructura se trabajó generando un prototipo de la prótesis con componentes de baja y media fidelidad, mediante impresión 3D, termoformado y adaptando componentes comerciales, con el objetivo de comprender los componentes y su interacción entre ellos, además de poder integrar los componentes electrónicos dentro de la estructura.
The following engineering design product report is developed within the field of prosthetics, specifically for cases of amputation with elbow disarticulation at the arm level. This work was carried out in collaboration with David Campbell, alongside the user and client, Gonzalo Zamora, who found it necessary to request a new myoelectric prosthesis, as the current mechanical pinch-type prosthesis does not provide him with sufficient comfort or safety for his daily tasks. The work is divided into two areas, one focused on the prosthesis structure and the other on the electronic part responsible for generating movements. The former was led by Paloma Maldonado and the latter by David Campbell. For the development of the work, the double diamond methodology was used, starting with the collection of information, mainly through interviews with experts in the health and electronics fields. The information gathered around the health area was crucial for the proper development of the project, as it allowed for laying its foundations. Additionally, the state of the art regarding prosthetics was analyzed as a reference point. Regarding the structural area, work was carried out by generating a prototype of the prosthesis with low and medium fidelity components, using 3D printing and adapting commercial components, aiming to understand the components and their interaction with each other, as well as to integrate the electronic components into the structure.
