Development of Grip Mechanism Assistant Device for Finger Rehabilitation

  • Conference paper

Abstract

This paper describes the work being carried out to develop a mechanism assistant device that can be employed for finger rehabilitation. Two design concepts were proposed. The initial design employed three L-shaped rod and a single column mechanism. However, due to some limitations, the initial design was modified. The final design employed four L-shaped rod and a single column. Simulations were conducted to check the extension and flexion of the two designs. From the simulation, it was found that the rotation of either motor can be 180 degrees clockwise for finger extension and anti-clockwise for finger flexion.
