Detailed description

The following study seeks to provide information regarding to the RobHand exoskeleton for hand neuromotor maintenance and/or rehabilitation, developed by the University of Valladolid, Spain. The study was carried out by the Neurotchnology Group of the Research and Development Area of the Corporación de Rehabilitación Club de Leones Cruz del Sur, Chile. Clinical test were implemented on four subjects with Stroke sequelae who participated in two evaluations of manual function and 16 training sessions with the robotic exoskeleton, in order to know the clinical effects on manual function, safety and satisfaction of users who utilize the exoskeleton RobHand.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Training with Robotic Hand Exoskeleton	The intervention consists in Robotic Hand training sessions. Each subject received 16 sessions lasting 60 minutes each and a frequency of 2 sessions per week. The sessions will be applied by an Ocupational Therapist with experience in Robotic training. Robhand exoskeleton (ITAP, Valladolid, Spain) is an exoskeleton-type electromechanical device, which is attached to the patient's hand and provides assistance for performing different types of finger movement rehabilitation therapies. The exoskeleton is composed of five independent subassemblies that are placed on a platform which is located on the back of the hand, with the exception of the thumb subassembly that is mounted on a separated module connected to the hand support platform through a linkage device.
