Numerical and Experimental Validation of ExoFing, a Finger Exoskeleton

A prototype characterization of ExoFinger, a finger exoskeleton

“…23 Preliminary numerical and experimental validation of ExoFinger is presented in ref. 25 to demonstrate the exoskeleton performance from theoretical to practical viewpoints. The presented exoskeleton is designed with two interconnected four-bar mechanisms as a linkage of two DOF.…”

Experimental Characterization of A-AFiM, an Adaptable Assistive Device for Finger Motions

“…These joints allow generating the flexionextension movements, which are essential in rehabilitation therapies, as in the reference. Research articles on rehabilitation therapies show that lost movements of injured limbs can be recovered by repeated movements in the joints [21,22]. These movements are divided according to the concerned joint.…”

“…Thus, we have fingers flexion and extension, as shown in Figure 1. In the references [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], several types of robots help in rehabilitation processes, this is because the mechanisms can generate controlled movement in the joints. The rehabilitation process allows people to regain control of their limbs after an illness or traumatic event.…”
