Abstract

In the scientific papers there are various mechatronic devices, with smart sensors, biofeedback systems and high end components. These system are mostly designed like replacement after amputation. The second are aim to exoskeleton concept, where the human capability is increased. Our rehabilitation device aim to area of temporary rehabilitation or recondition. The conventional motorized splint has limited possibilities for advance control and typically has no diagnostic functions.
