Item Desarrollo de un dispositivo biomecatrónico adaptable al miembro superior humano para ejercicios funcionales de acondicionamiento físico(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Tovar Sánchez, Javier David; Franco Vargas, Sergio Alejandro; Arcos Hurtado, Edgar FranciscoRecognizing the importance of technology in the different processes of scientific, economic and social research, and putting it at the service of man in favor of improving their health conditions, has been a constant throughout history. Today these advanced technologies are offered only in specialized places for such purposes, which limits users in time and space to make use of them, not allowing the integration of such technologies to their daily lives and facilitate their living conditions. Another relevant aspect is the high costs associated with these technologies, a factor that prevents people who do not have economic resources from accessing them. Taking into account these aspects, and in order to reach a larger population, we developed a biomechatronic device adaptable to the human upper limb with double functionality, the first is the prevention of diseases associated with sedentary lifestyle through the enhancement of functional exercises of physical conditioning, focusing mainly on strengthening and bodybuilding in the early stages after an injury, the second is rehabilitation for people with mobility difficulties in the upper limb, either by natural causes or accidental, providing in a single portable device the ability to prevent and rehabilitate diseases and / or injuries of the upper limb. The first is the ability to prevent and rehabilitate diseases and / or injuries of the upper limb. In the process of developing the device, stages of planning, generation and evaluation of concepts, detailed design, construction, tests and adjustments were carried out to finally arrive at the prototype that managed to satisfactorily supply the bodybuilding and rehabilitation phases, the latter being the main axis, given the technical specifications required for bodybuilding in active users.Item Diseño de un manual de calidad para la empresa ASIA SOLUTION S.A.S basado en la resolución 4002 de 2007 del INVIMA(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) De la Cruz Velasco, Andrés Felipe; Escarria Obando, Carlos Mauricio; Arcos Hurtado, Edgar FranciscoASIA SOLUTION SAS is a company whose main activity is the import and commercialization of biomedical equipment mainly for aesthetic use, initially founded in the city of Bogotá in 2014. It is currently operating in the city of Cali, through an initial diagnosis it is possible to identify absence of information due to poor organization, undocumented procedures which has generated reports of non-compliance, return of products for guarantee due to bad storage, lack of knowledge, lack of traceability of processes, which has generated loss of credibility in customers Due to the fact that the company does not have a certified quality management system, this is how document design takes importance through engineering methodologies that allow the identification of its organizational processes, the standardization of activities, the implementation of management indicators and clear objectives with r concrete results that reduce the difficulty to implement a QMS based on Resolution 4002 of 2007 of INVIMA, which allows to mitigate not only the absence of informality in the organization but also in order to achieve certification of storage and conditioning capacity of the CCAA medical devices, minimum requirement for all importing and commercializing establishments of medical devices.Item Diseño e implementación de un sistema de adquisición basado en señales mioeléctricas para la ejecución de movimientos en una prótesis didáctica de miembro superior derecho(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Renteria Vivero, Juberth Andres; Arcos Hurtado, Edgar FranciscoMyoelectric signals are electrical signals produced by a muscle during the process of contraction and relaxation, each time an individual makes a movement, for example, elbow flexion. These signals can be used in the sense that with the correct acquisition and processing of myoelectric signals, it could be possible to design mechanisms that simulate movements or, failing that, the design of prostheses. In this article, the acquisition and processing of myoelectric signals and the development of a didactic prosthesis that simulates the flexion-extension movements of the elbow, pronosupination of the forearm, flexion-extension of the fingers and rotation of the thumb are performed. The data acquisition system consists of a system of surface electrodes and MyoWare muscle sensors, the acquisition hardware is based on an Arduino Mega 2560 and the controller software programmed with a state machine, connected by serial port to a computer with the software of Matlab® processing. Then, the didactic platform for teaching biomechatronics is designed and built, where the student can interact with an acquisition system based on myoelectric signals integrated into a didactic prosthesis with servomotor components and a gearmotor, with its proper graphic interface. The platform allows the acquisition of myoelectric signals in 4 different positions, where a characteristic vector of the performed movements is obtained. The platform allowed to simulate and adequately characterize the flexion-extension movements of the elbow, pronosupination of the forearm, flexion-extension of the fingers and rotation of the thumb. This platform will allow specific studies of the movement of the upper limb in a didactic way, with the capacity that in later studies other movements can be characterized or the simple combination of theseItem Platform for Adaptation of Myoelectric Prostheses in People with Upper Limb Amputation(Springer, 2020-03-03) Arcos Hurtado, Edgar Francisco; Ortegón Sanchez, Andrés Felipe; Rentería, Juberth; Castillo García, Javier Ferney; Millán Castro, Maria Del MarThis paper describes a platform for adaptation of myoelectric prostheses in people with upper limb amputation. The design of the platform is based on the anthropometry and biomechanics of human upper limb, servomotors are used to drive each degree of freedom, except in the articulation of the elbow, in which a gear motor is used. The myoelectric signal acquisition system includes Myoware myoelectric signal sensors from the company Advancer Technologies, an embedded system based on Arduino and a graphic interface to visualize myoelectric signals in real time. The implementation platform allows to replicate flexion/extension movements for the elbow, wrist, and each finger of the hand, pronation/supination of the wrist, and adduction/abduction of the thumb. The data acquisition system allows to visualize in real time, muscular activity concerning for 4 muscles, and was tested in people with upper limb amputation registering significant values for different movement intentions. The platform presented provides a feedback that could improve the adaptation of a superior limb amputee to a myoelectric prosthesis. The characterization of myoelectric signals generated by the residual limb of a person with upper limb amputation, allows to generate control signals according to a movement intention that would be replicated in the platform.
