Differential Spring Stiffness Design for Finger Therapy Exercise Device: Bio-inspired from Stiff Pathological Finger Joints
Finger therapy exercises are important for maintaining hand mobility and preventing development of tendon adhesions in post-operative hand-injury and stroke patients [1]. Current continuous passive motion devices for finger rehabilitation are unable to recreate the therapy exercises that therapists performed on patients, namely table-top, proximal interphalangeal (PIP)-blocking, straight-fist, distal interphalangeal (DIP)-blocking, hook-fist and fist. The aim is to develop a rehabilitation device that utilized a differential spring stiffness design to recreate finger therapy exercises.
