Abstract

Numerous hand exoskeletons have been proposed in the literature with the aim of assisting or rehabilitating results of neurodegenerative changes due to ageing, stroke, traumatic brain disorder, spinal cord injury, or other causes of hand disorders. Key issue becomes: how to investigate, improve, and observe the effect of rehabilitation therapy. Thus many studies have been conducted on evaluating the motor function quantitatively by developing various types of robotic systems. Even though the robotic systems have been developed, this task still constitutes challenge, thus functional evaluation of the hand has been rarely investigated, because it is difficult to install a number of actuators or sensors to the hand due to limited space around the fingers. Our article aims at presentation of the own concept of 3D printed hand exoskeleton, associated occupations and limitations.
