“…Similarly, static and dynamic postures can be documented in medical applications when used in a glove device [ 29 ]. Given their interesting properties, such as robustness, low price and long life, they frequently show non-linear response and lower sensitivity, particularly at small bending angles [ 5 , 22 ]. Nevertheless, a research clinical glove developed by ActionSense [ 60 ] uses multiple Flexpoint bend sensors [ 61 ] to monitor hand function.…”

“…Physical exercise therapies have primary clinical significance for improving motion recovery [ 4 ]. Therefore, wearable devices should simultaneously monitor all finger movements dynamically to assist with the diagnosis process of the diseases at early onset stages, and extract objective measurements of slight improvements in the hand and limb mobility during rehabilitation activities [ 5 ]. Similarly, wearable technologies (smart gloves) ought to continuously monitor the hands without being a nuisance to a patient’s daily activities [ 6 ].…”

“…Several researchers have conducted investigations into contact systems [ 22 , 25 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. However, current research seems to indicate that contact systems are more sought-after for monitoring hand functionality [ 1 , 5 , 9 , 29 , 48 , 49 ]. Several types of sensors have been used to measure the quantitative measurements of interest, with complex architectural and circuit designs.…”

Early detection of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and other neurological conditions is vital for effective treatment. Existing methods of detecting RA rely on observation, questionnaires, and physical measurement, each with their own weaknesses. Pharmaceutical medications and procedures aim to reduce the debilitating effect, preventing the progression of the illness and bringing the condition into remission. There is still a great deal of ambiguity around patient diagnosis, as the difficulty of measurement has reduced the importance that joint stiffness plays as an RA identifier. The research areas of medical rehabilitation and clinical assessment indicate high impact applications for wearable sensing devices. As a result, the overall aim of this research is to review current sensor technologies that could be used to measure an individual’s RA severity. Other research teams within RA have previously developed objective measuring devices to assess the physical symptoms of hand steadiness through to joint stiffness. Unfamiliar physical effects of these sensory devices restricted their introduction into clinical practice. This paper provides an updated review among the sensor and glove types proposed in the literature to assist with the diagnosis and rehabilitation activities of RA. Consequently, the main goal of this paper is to review contact systems and to outline their potentialities and limitations. Considerable attention has been paid to gloved based devices as they have been extensively researched for medical practice in recent years. Such technologies are reviewed to determine whether they are suitable measuring tools.

For the outcomes achieved in this study, it was considered the previous research carried out for the design and creation of a functional prototype of a hand exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of older adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) using Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies. The results of each research allowed continuing a line of development until reaching the creation of a portable hand exoskeleton based on an adapted exo-glove that allows the self-supported flexion-extension of the fingers with some opposing tension and facilitates the management of the rehabilitation processes through medical/therapeutic exercises that contribute to reduce the pain caused by the disease. The degree of usability of the system presented considers a user-centered approach, therefore a methodology was designed for the validation of the ARTH-aid System ExoGlove, involving a generic group of 30 patients and an expert group of physiotherapists from an elderly care home in Quito, Ecuador.
