Abstract

Dynamic wearable human neck assistive device is a state-of-the-art technological innovation created to support and aid people with neck problems or impairments. To dynamically adapt to the user's movements and offer real-time feedback and direction, this device makes use of cutting-edge sensors, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. The gadget can assist with activities including head stabilization, posture correction, and assistance with neck movement. By boosting their mobility, comfort, and independence, this cutting-edge technology has the potential to greatly improve the quality of life for those with neck impairments or disabilities. Based on the information about the human anatomical head and neck, a dynamic wearable assistive cervical collar was developed to address this problem. In an experimental investigation, a group of older individuals with mild neck discomfort had their neck surface muscles bent and compressed both with and without the aid of a dynamic wearable supportive cervical collar. It was found that test subjects could imitate 65% of human head and neck motions, such as flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation, with this suggested assistive device while putting the least amount of strain on the neck surface muscle. The findings indicate that utilizing the developed assistive device reduced the strain on the neck surface muscle and that the strain obtained is being reduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
