A Robot-Assisted Hand Exoskeletal System for Mirror Therapy Rehabilitation

摘要

This paper proposes a robotics-assisted hand exoskeleton for mirror therapy. Through the mechanical design of hand exoskeleton, the proposed structure can perform pinching and hand grasping motion under the guidance from finger motion glove. Also, framework of proposed mechatronic system has been delineated in this paper. In order to examine the usability of proposed system, trial results of the proposed system that applying on normal human to interact with actual objects are also presented in this paper.
