Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we developed a wearable hand training system for the patients with hand paralysis. The wearable hand has active joints which independently provide motion support at the proximal interphalangeal joint and the metacarpophalangeal joint, and was developed to be used in MRI environment to monitor the wearer’s brain activity. In verification tests, on a healthy volunteer we confirmed the accurate performance of the wearable hand training system in the MRI environment, and feasibility of the intervention for a person with hand paralysis.
