Abstract

Rehabilitation robots and rehabilitation braces are in demand, as they aid in reducing a patient’s need for therapist’s attendance and guidance during therapy. This study focuses on the bending of fingers under the tension of the fingertips using clinical equipment and demonstrates the development of a small and versatile rehabilitation brace.
