From YouTube: e-NABLEcon 2019 - Dean Rock - Demo of several new e-NABLE designs

Description

In this video, Dean Rock shows us several of his recent e-NABLE designs, including new partial finger prosthetics and a powered arm design.

A

I need one more okay, first officer, actually device.

A

And he got us fingers comment. No, we tried to pull up traps and he's amputated that portion of these two fingers.

A

So the idea of this is that these game pieces hit over his stumps all right, and so what's that happens.

A

A

A

What's nice about these aside from that, mechanical action? Is that there's no corrosive material anywhere in here, so he works in salt. Water Olaf died and this is TPU. This is nylon. Nylon filament with a point makes monofilament fishing line blue little crimps, stainless steel, adjusters.

A

B

A

Of things, if anything, fails or breaks or needs to be replaced its costs about three bucks to me, he does it's nothing. So it's a cool device Dean is their name for this design. Yet ah no we could name it here. You could all decide on the name. We could come to consensus. I missed you, that'll be a first.

A

So with this we can be giving people the figures.

C

So, as far as the to the person to distal finger, is there any consideration for congregating Academy or coal scanner? Well, especially in an industry where you're, you know easier.

C

A

So Nick this is just experimental, I.

A

Have not published that one yet.

A

One of the things with the struts on the sides it gives it better lateral stability I find that if I make such a strict flexi finger with a living, that's great, but it doesn't have that lateral strength. This has more lateral strength, it's still not perfect, but it doesn't work and it's very.

A

Extremely strong and the my Lana's extremely strong, that's good! That's eighty pound test, monofilament fifteen life, so I think it's gonna work out.

A

A

This is my analog electric hand, it's just a simple switch at one pendant, one linear actuator close, and it works against a fixed on that thumb. There's a flexible loop or closed and that flexible loop.

A

Without any anything else, if you needed to extra fold and close the hand flip the switch and you grip something I'm trying to pick.

A

Up very small things: it's a simple device and it works pretty well. I've got a new switch set up, reversing polarity.

A

Good put that instead and use that force button switch clothes, stop.

A

A

A

Pretty cool this has a.

A

It's an inexpensive way to make an electrical device, that's fairly effective I'm working with Rotary, Club and.

A

They can afford.

A

This smart, let's set up.

A

These are flexible.

A

Batteries- and this is just window screen material- it's a plastic one rather than about this.

B

A

B

A

This particular person and yeah.

A

This is a ratchet the fuzz of both ways.

A

Something with much effort, it's a little bulky. It works I like it. We've superseded that don't yeah, but it's an interesting design.

A

A

So a little more individual deformable through.

C

That's that this deviation most the devices aren't able so risky new right, whereas if the Whipple three.

C

Some kind of MINIX on this yeah.

A

And if you have an object like that bottle the bottle top of your statement here.

A

So the wrists actuated one.

A

For the finger control, this one has no nylon Hinton's. Yet I was planning.

B

A

Will assemble everything.

A

You can see the shock cord or elastic cord Bundy for accurate, that's quite positive, so you can have a wrist actuated, four fingers, but the passive thumb that will open around something you couldn't have for rigid fingers, but the passive thumbin it closed against. With your fingers, you could have moveable fingers and a rigid thumb by not putting the shock cord on and just fixing it into place with glue, and so it's kind of a one-size-fits-all terminal device. However, the patient wants to configure it that's up to them, and this connector is too substandard.

A

Half inch fine thread that works with.

B

A variety of terminal.

A

Devices, some of which does it made, some of which are commercially such as the Ellen 4.

A

It has a terminal device that threads on the same way, so we in theory, if this hand, wasn't working out just clasping hand just did that motion. You get an Ellen.

B

A

It possible and just screw it on so everything else opens weeks.

A

B

A

Of my tenants must be about up s that around.

A

This red pieces of socket I told her that this father was superseded. Here's a lot work doing or what I can each.

A

Socket- and there are four sides of these eight- all in one ham-.

A

And week that we make fiberglass resin casting tape, I have a form for you.

A

And you will take it on the side that you society and.

A

You have this long thing on this socket, so you find out the right size, pan the right size, socket and you've got that long cast on there. What you do is say a person yeah. This is what residually you take your long.

A

A

Between their new makerspace.

A

And what fishin's saying it would be better if two things happen, one inclusive and either out of negative five degree like so, instead of.

C

Adorable, the sister of the fingers to it, looks like they are also contributing for anything yeah.

A

They continue that Maybach.

A

Something- and you want to get into your mouth if you have that angle already partially there, whereas if it's out here yeah, so Chris I'm, suggesting a movable, joint and I just read ideas that could be manipulated by the user. Somehow from five yeah thirty I mean.

B

That's there or depending how they then made that standard in a minus five degrees. So- and you have your model like this, it can increase.

C

The possibilities of.

B

They have to grab different stuff yeah. That would be so.

C

So do you think, maybe that your device might be useful for people that are able to give that 30 degree Turner or so maybe people that aren't able do that? That might not necessarily be the device for them? No.

A

I'm thinking you could have that incorporated, so you have them.

C

B

Bottom, that release the position and set the position you.

C

Can do the same with.

B

The other hand.

A

Yellen forehand is actually two interlocking.

A

And it's purely mechanical, so you can lock it here.

A

And it's mounted on a set of straps that, if you're in reciprocal limits, the short well the importance of up here here, however, that terminal device. What I'm getting.

A

And to open the lock, you just press it against something and it releases the wrap. It's.

B

C

A

Device good enough for most people.

A

In the US I had a little girl or the lm4 on one of my.

A

A

A

You can fit a lot of things: Ariel, the mermaid and superheroes really.

C

A

But for adults I think it's a slightly different.

A

Next week,.
