Hand Exercising Exoskeleton

Abstract

Aging is a common stage of human life where people often face different problems related to physical and mental weakness which in turn make them feeble to do their daily activity. Despite of all the challenges, most aged people prefer to do their daily routine at their own. Assistive technology is used to support those people to get back into their normal life and enhance the independent living. Exoskeleton or wearable robots are people-oriented robots designed to be worn. These robots are designed around the function and shape of the human body and the human will be able to control the robotic limbs. This control can assist in walking, running, jumping higher or even lifting objects one would not normally be able to lift. A hand exercise device called “Exorn” which is user friendly, simple to use and easy to control is being focused in this chapter.
