Abstract

Made-to-measure Modulan grip-aids were fitted to 755 articles for 155 patients with hand deformities due to leprosy. The acceptance of the grip-aids was, in general, good. No instance of contact dermatitis or skin irritation was reported. These grip-aids facilitated a normal grip with crippled hands, and thus considerably improved the quality of the patient's personal and working life. They increased the patient's self-esteem and self-confidence because he/she could handle everyday objects or tools without the help of others and could do his/her job--an important step toward social and economic rehabilitation.

摘要

为155名因麻风病导致手部畸形的患者的755件物品安装了量身定制的模块化握力辅助器具。总体而言，患者对这些握力辅助器具的接受度良好。未报告接触性皮炎或皮肤刺激的病例。这些握力辅助器具帮助残疾的手实现正常抓握，从而显著改善了患者的个人生活和工作生活质量。它们增强了患者的自尊和自信，因为患者无需他人帮助就能处理日常物品或工具，还能完成工作——这是迈向社会和经济康复的重要一步。
