Intended Use
Provides hand joint range of motion training for patients with hand injuries involving nerves, muscles, and skeletal structures.
- 🔸 Integrating sensor technology to detect the finger movements of your unaffected hand and translates them into precise instructions to guide your damaged hand’s fingers.
- 🔸 The affected hand is moved by an actuator-driven robotic hand to provide continuous passive range-of-motion training of the finger joints.
Indications
Patients with impaired hand motor function due to nerve, muscle, or skeletal injuries that require rehabilitation.
Robotic hand
- 🔸 Lightweight (<800 grams).
- 🔸 The unique mechanism design allows fine movement of the fingers of the hand.
- 🔸 Made of a metallic material with high rigidity.
- 🔸 Allows the distance between the thumb and index finger to be adjusted according to training needs.
Control Box
- 🔸 Compact and space-saving.
- 🔸 Lightweight (<300 grams).
- 🔸 Simple design, easy button operation.
Sensor Glove
- 🔸 Weighs less than 200 grams.
- 🔸 Built-in sensors detect individual finger movements of the hand.
