This paper describes a portable instrument designed to monitor progress accomplished by patients participating in a hand rehabilitation program. The instrument is driven by a microcontroller and features signal conditioning circuits to measure and record the strength and duration of hand contractions. An alphanumeric display provides the patient with performance indications to allow biofeedback reinforcement, and clear instructions on how to perform the prescribed exercises. Exercise data acquired by the portable instrument can be transferred to a host computer for analysis and archival storage. Results of a preliminary clinical evaluation in 14 patients are presented.
本文描述了一种便携式仪器，旨在监测参与手部康复计划的患者所取得的进展。该仪器由微控制器驱动，并具有信号调节电路，用于测量和记录手部收缩的强度和持续时间。字母数字显示器为患者提供性能指标，以实现生物反馈强化，并提供有关如何进行规定练习的清晰说明。便携式仪器获取的运动数据可以传输到主机进行分析和存档存储。本文还介绍了对14名患者进行的初步临床评估结果。
