Wrist support brace

grabcad

Hi all, this is my entry for the competition! Back to CAD after a very long winter sleep. My design is aiming to reduce the hand tremors by employing a custom non Newtonian fluid operated damper. The sleeve is universal and fits for most adult size hands with no extra adjustments, the damper itself can be configured by changing the insert in it (reducing or increasing size/surface area of the insert) it is also attached using Velcro tape. The pins are either "velcroed" or glued in specific places according to customer needs of, changing angles and position for more or less required damping/support Overall the solution is fairly simply to customize, is lightweight and pretty compact to be worn underneath normal sleeves. Certain immobilization of hand movement is introduced due to the damping being active more than passive, so a non Newtonian liquid/oil has to be mixed accordingly to allow best cross-over between mobility of the hand and damping of tremors. Speed of motion can be reduced using this solution. Please feel free to critique and share opinions.
