exomotion HAND/ONE
The exomotion® hand orthosis was created to provide a reliable and functional aid to restore gripping function in paralyzed hands for everyday use. The unique design allows for independent bending and stretching of single or multiple fingers through exo mechanics, while the artificial tendons are elegantly encapsulated and nearly invisible inside the splint.
The compact and high-performance drives are individually adjustable, powerful, and highly precise. Each glove is custom-made by hand for every patient to ensure a perfectly comfortable fit. The individually manufactured splint stabilizes the forearm and metacarpus without appearing bulky. The orthosis is intuitively controlled via impulses of an active muscle, which is not shown in the diagram.
