| Research Abstract |
We developed an active therapeutic use equipment with a membrane pneumatic actuator. A membrane pneumatic actuator produces more power and requires less installation space than a conventional low pressure pneumatic actuator. The therapeutic use equipment was made by referring to rehab by hand therapy. 4 out of 5 patients succeeded in reducing MP joint subluxation thumbs by using a prototype of a therapeutic use equipment.
