Abstract: A hand rehabilitation device includes at least one support to support a thumb and to perform a flexion/extension movement for rehabilitating the thumb. The flexion/extension movement is actioned by a first transmission mechanism to which the support is connected. The device further includes another support to support the index finger and to perform a flexion/extension movement for rehabilitating the finger. The flexion/extension movement is actioned by a second transmission mechanism to which the at least one second support is connected. The device further includes another support for the three remaining fingers which is configured to perform a flexion/extension movement for rehabilitating the three remaining fingers. The flexion/extension movement is actioned by a third transmission mechanism to which the at least one third support is connected. The three transmission mechanisms are actuated by a motor; and the three flexion/extension movements of the three supports are independent from each other.

Abstract: This document discloses, among other things, a wearable structure having links and joints corresponding to those of a human upper body. Transducers are located on the wearable structure and are coupled to a processor. The transducers exchange energy and information between the user and the wearable structure and enable control of the movement of the structure.
