Abstract

This design study investigates a Prosthetic Wrist Unit for upper limb amputations using the Design Thinking methodology. It covers Problem Definition, Information Gathering, Concept Generation and Evaluation, Product Architecture, Configuration Design, Parametric Design, Detail Design, and Production. The study aims to create a small prosthetic wrist unit (50 mm diameter, 50 mm length, less than 125 gr), provides 360° rotation, connects easily with prosthetic hands, enables electric and data transfer, and is controllable via EMG sensors. This research contributes to prosthetic product design, enhancing the quality of life for amputees.

Özet

Bu tasarım çalışması, Üst Ekstremite Amputasyonları için Protez Bilek Ünitesini araştırmaktadır ve Tasarım Odaklı Düşünme metodolojisini kullanmaktadır. Problem Tanımı, Bilgi Toplama, Kavram Oluşturma ve Değerlendirme, Ürün Mimarisi, Konfigürasyon Tasarımı, Parametrik Tasarım, Detay Tasarımı ve Üretim adımlarını kapsamaktadır. Çalışma, küçük (50 mm çap, 50 mm uzunluk, 150 gr'dan az), 360° dönebilen, protez ellere kolayca bağlanabilen, elektrik ve veri transferi yapabilen, EMG sensörleri sayesinde kas hareketleriyle kontrol edilebilen bir protez bilek ünitesi yaratmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma, ampütelerin yaşam kalitesini artırarak protez ürün tasarımına katkıda bulunmaktadır.
