Plasticity of human brain has been shown in recently research, it has been estimated that inducing the plasticity of brain by skill activity of finger giving stimulation to activity of brain leads to improvement of conditions of dementia and hemiplegia. Therefore, the power assist device corresponding to skill activity of finger is need for activation of brain. Purpose of this study is development of the aid/device for assisting the skill activity of finger and discussion of optimal fixation method between human phalanx and the aid. On this account, we have discussed about Optimal fixation method by measuring the gap between the aid and human phalanx using motion analyzer VICON. In this paper, another type device as prototype power assist device with new principle of power assist was developed in order to realize assisting skill activity of finger. Thus, The efficiency of the principle was evaluated using motion analyzer.
