PURPOSE
Finger coordination and independence are often impaired in stroke survivors, preventing them from performing activities of daily living. We have developed a technique using a robotic interface, the HandCARE, to train these functions.
METHOD
The Hand Cable-Actuated REhabilitation (CARE) system can assist the subject in opening and closing movements of the hand, and can be adapted to accommodate various hand sizes and finger shapes.
RESULTS
Two game-like exercises have been developed, which use a motivating approach to promote recovery of finger coordination and independence. Mathematical measures have been implemented to evaluate these functions. This technique is validated with two post-stroke subjects who practiced for 20 minutes twice a week during eight weeks.
CONCLUSIONS
The results show significant improvements in finger coordination, force modulation as well as finger independence.
目的
中风幸存者的手指协调性和独立性常常受损，这阻碍了他们进行日常生活活动。我们开发了一种使用机器人接口HandCARE的技术来训练这些功能。
方法
手部缆线驱动康复（CARE）系统可以协助受试者进行手部的开合动作，并且可以进行调整以适应各种手型和手指形状。
结果
已开发出两种类似游戏的练习，采用激励方法促进手指协调性和独立性的恢复。已实施数学测量方法来评估这些功能。这项技术在两名中风后受试者身上得到验证，他们在八周内每周两次，每次练习20分钟。
结论
结果表明，手指协调性、力量调节以及手指独立性都有显著改善。
