Recovery of functional hand movements after stroke is directly linked to rehabilitation duration and intensity. Continued therapy at home has the potential to increase both. For many patients this requires a device that helps them overcome the hyperflexion of wrist and fingers that is limiting their ability to open and use their hand. We developed an interactive hand and wrist orthosis for post-stroke...
In this paper, we present our design of an active hand and wrist orthosis, SCRIPT Active Orthosis Iteration 3 (SAO-i3), for rehabilitation after stroke at home. Impairments in the hand decrease the quality of life of stroke patients drastically by limiting activities of daily living such as eating, drinking, buttoning, etc. Since there is a high correlation between therapy intensity and functional...
In this paper, a new hand and wrist exoskeleton design, the SCRIPT Passive Orthosis (SPO), for the rehabilitation after stroke is presented. The SPO is a wrist, hand, and finger orthosis that assists individuals after stroke that suffer from impairments caused by spasticity and abnormal synergies. These impairments are characterized in the wrist and hand by excessive involuntary flexion torques that...
