A case study with Symbihand
An sEMG-controlled electrohydraulic hand orthosis for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
With recent improvements in healthcare, individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have prolonged life expectancy, and it is therefore vital to preserve their independence. Hand function plays a central role in maintaining independence in daily living. This requires su ...
While designing a dynamic hand orthosis to assist during activities of daily living, the designer has to know whether a concept will have sufficient grasp performance to support these activities. This is often estimated by measuring the interaction force at the contact interfa ...
Mechanical design of dynamic hand orthoses
Expanding technology with comprehensive overviews and alternative pathways
People with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are currently in need of assistive robotics to improve their hand function and have a better quality of life. However, none of the available active hand orthoses is able to address to their specific needs. In this study, the use of hydra ...
