Abstract: The invention relates to a hand orthosis (1) for assisting the movements of a user's hand. The hand orthosis comprises a soft glove (2) adapted to receive at least a part of the user's hand with finger sections of the glove receiving each of the user's fingers. It further comprises at least one actuator box (3), and a power transmission (4) for transferring forces from the at least one actuator box to different parts of the glove via exo-tendons (5). The exo-tendons are arranged on a dorsal side, on a palmar side, or on both a dorsal side and a palmar side of the glove. The exo-tendons are arranged so that the glove can assist flexion, extension, or both extension and flexion of the fingers, respectively and so that the exo-tendons act on the fingers to produce motion that mimics the movement of a human hand. The hand orthosis provides different grasp types, self- adaptation of the fingers' motion to the shape of the object, and physiologically appropriate distribution of finger forces.

Abstract: A product, e.g. an insole for a shoe, fitting onto a person's foot sole based on a platform (SM) of a flexible and electrically isolating material. Multiple stimulation electrodes (S1, S2, S3) with adhesive stimulation areas of at least 1 cm2 are spatially distributed on the platform (SM). A conducting and adhesive ground plane electrode (G) with at least an area of 10 times a stimulation electrode area is arranged for contacting the person's foot. An electric interface (I) comprising a plug or socket with externally accessible electrical connectors to allow external individual electrical access to the plurality of stimulation electrode areas (S1, S2, S3) and to the ground plane electrode (G). The electric interface is capable of handling at least a voltage of 200 V, preferably 400 V. Such product is suited for reflex-based gait therapy, where the person's withdrawal reflex is triggered by a painful stimulation of the person's foot sole.
