SUMMARY:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS, is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that affects motor neurons - cells responsible for the voluntary movements of the musculature. Thus, the revELA project is a research project registered in UFRN with the code PVG16036-2018, titled “Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico Aplicado a Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica'' (Scientific and Technological Development related to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). The project is an initiative executed by mutual collaboration between the Ministry of Health and LAIS (Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health) which plans the development of several technologies and systems to assist ALS patients. The project has several goals to provide better life quality to patients, one of them is the development of Technologies that help patients to increase their mobility and assist their communication. Therefore, the goal is to propose a low cost active hand orthosis to perform simple movements affected by the disease.
