Strokes can lead to the paralysis of one or more parts of the human body and so stroke survivors more than often require rehabilitation to regain muscle coordination, for instance when trying to perform finger movements. For such an objective, an external device like an exoskeleton can be used. This paper presents a low-cost 3D printed hand exoskeleton with high flexibility degree to fit different hand, wrist, and finger sizes.

Abstract

Strokes can lead to the paralysis of one or more parts of the human body and so stroke survivors more than often require rehabilitation to regain muscle coordination, for instance when trying to perform finger movements. For such an objective, an external device like an exoskeleton can be used. This paper presents a low-cost 3D printed hand exoskeleton with high flexibility degree to fit different hand, wrist, and finger sizes.
