手指機能障害のための曲げセンサで操作するハンド型支援装置

抄録

Exoskeletons and extension devices have been developed to support person with finger dysfunction. However, using these devices was difficult depending on the degree of the user's dysfunction and the object to be grasped. We propose an assistive hand device controlled by a flex sensor. Since it is worn on the forearm and grasps objects instead of the user, it can be used regardless of the degree of the user's dysfunction. Its grip force was 2.1 N. A SHAP test and operational test of daily objects showed the effectiveness of the device.
