Hand Orthosis
The device was created with the specific goal of allowing individuals with hemiparesis to use it independently, and it can be worn and operated with only one hand.
Through the use of innovative artificial tendons, the system is able to provide a natural sensation of hand movement by actively opening and closing the fingers.
Controlling the desired range of motion is made easy with a simple push-button, and the device’s modular components can be detached for convenient maintenance and use.
