Initial Testing of Robotic Exoskeleton Hand Device for Stroke Rehabilitation

The preliminary test results of a novel robotic hand rehabilitation device aimed at treatment for the loss of motor abilities in the fingers and thumb due to stroke are presented. This device has been developed in collaboration with physiotherapists who regularly treat individuals who have suffered from a stroke. The device was tested on healthy adults to ensure comfort, user accessibility, and repeatability for various hand sizes in preparation for obtaining permission from regulatory bodies and implementing the design in a full clinical trial. Trials were conducted with 52 healthy individuals ranging in age from 19 to 93 with an average age of 58. A comfort survey and force data ANOVA were performed to measure hand motions and ensure the repeatability and accessibility of the system. Readings from the force sensor (p < 0.05) showed no significant difference between repetitions for each participant. All subjects considered the device comfortable. The device scored a mean comfort value of 8.5/10 on all comfort surveys and received the approval of all physiotherapists involved. The device has satisfied all design specifications, and the positive results of the participants suggest that it can be considered safe and reliable. It can therefore be moved forward for clinical trials with post-stroke users.
