Abstract

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is defined as stenosis of the abductor pollicis longus tendons and extensor pollicis brevis that reduces the strength and dexterity of the hand. It is the result of a work accident or an existing injury. The research objective is to design a therapeutic instrument for a pathology treatment. The design methodology applied is divided into 4 phases: planning and clarification of the task, conceptual design, realization design, and detailed design. As a result, there is self-assisted physical therapy support, which uses the Tendon Gliding Exercise (TGE) program to determine the therapeutic exercises of the instrument. It has interchangeable hand and wrist devices, that allow the patient to perform ideal flexion and extension movements of the fingers.
