Design and Analysis of a Rigid-Flexible Parallel Mechanism for a Neck Brace
A rigid-flexible parallel mechanism called 3-RXS mechanism as a neck brace for patients with head drooping symptoms (HDS) is presented. The 3-RXS neck brace has a simple and light structure coupled with good rotation performance, so it can be used to assist the neck to achieve flexion and extension,...
