| Research Abstract |
About a support system for fingers of flaccid paralysis, we fixed a wrist and made a function to perform a pinch with three fingers (a thumb, a forefinger, a middle finger). We were able to derive some pinch power. We have the brain neoplasm patient that a finger function was lost put it on and practice pinch movement with a sound switch. As study for fingers of spastic paralysis, we devised a system of range of motion improvement purpose. It is a range of motion exercise system of the working on that a patient performs with his voice or the other side fingers movement. As an after care of the BOTOX therapy for spastic paralysis, range of motion improvement exercise is essential. We built the system which a patient can exercise every day at home by himself.
