ANÁLISIS MECÁNICO ESTRUCTURAL DE PROTOTIPO PARAREHABILITACIÓN EN ADULTOS MAYORES CON PROBLEMAS DETENDINITIS

Resumen

En la última década se ha evidenciado la necesidad de
incluir la tecnología en el área de la medicina, dado
por las extensas ventajas que aporta incluir sistemas
electrónicos en diferentes áreas de la salud. De esta
manera ampliando y complementando las capacidades
de personal médico, debido a que la ingeniería se
integra de forma efectiva conjuntamente con diseños
mecánicos que permiten mejorar los procesos de
rehabilitación o fisioterapia de adultos mayores.
Es por ello que en el presente trabajo se desarrolló
una estructura mecánica que conjuntamente con un
sistema electrónico permite monitorear el avance de la
rehabilitación de personas que padezcan de tendinitis
o en la prevención de dicha enfermedad. Dado que la
estructura está dirigida a personas adultas se analiza la
resistencia de la estructura mecánica y fluencia según
Von Mises, conjuntamente con el factor de seguridad
para determinar la vida útil estimada del prototipo
utilizando herramientas como ANSIS y Solid Works.

Abstract
In the last decade it has become evident the need to
include technology in the area of medicine, given the
extensive advantages of including electronic systems
in different areas of health. In this way expanding and
complementing the capabilities of medical personnel,
because engineering is effectively integrated with
mechanical designs that allow improving the
processes of rehabilitation or physiotherapy of older
adults. That is why in the present work a mechanical
structure was developed that together with an
electronic system allows monitoring the progress of
the rehabilitation of people suffering from tendinitis
or in the prevention of this disease. Since the structure
is aimed at adults, the resistance of the mechanical
structure and creep according to Von Mises, together
with the safety factor to determine the estimated useful
life of the prototype is analyzed using tools such as
ANSIS and Solid Works.
