To investigate the feasibility of a wear-able, soft-robotic glove system developed to combine assistive support in daily life with performing therapeutic exercises on a computer at home (the HandinMind system).
Feasibility study.
Five chronic stroke patients with limitations in activities of daily living due to impaired hand function.
Participants performed a usability test and several functional tasks with the HandinMind system across 2 sessions. Feasibility was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS), Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) and performance times of the functional tasks.
User acceptance measured by the SUS and IMI was scored high. The median SUS scores of sessions 1 and 2 were 80.0 (interquartile range (IQR) 70.0-88.8) and 77.5 (IQR 75.0-87.5), respectively, and the median IMI score was 6.3 points out of 7 points (IQR 6.2-6.3). Functional task performance was initially slower with the HandinMind glove compared with performance without the glove, but improved up to the level of performance without the glove across no more than 3 repetitions.
Chronic stroke patients with impaired hand function were positive about the feasibility of the first prototype of the HandinMind system. How-ever, performance and ease of use of the system should be improved further in future development phases.
研究一种可穿戴的软性机器人手套系统的可行性，该系统旨在将日常生活中的辅助支持与在家中使用计算机进行治疗性运动相结合（HandinMind 系统）。
可行性研究。
5 名因手部功能障碍而日常生活活动受限的慢性中风患者。
参与者在 2 个会话中使用 HandinMind 系统进行了可用性测试和多项功能任务。使用系统可用性量表（SUS）、内在动机量表（IMI）和功能任务的执行时间来衡量可行性。
SUS 和 IMI 测量的用户接受度得分较高。第 1 次和第 2 次会话的中位数 SUS 评分分别为 80.0（四分位距（IQR）70.0-88.8）和 77.5（IQR 75.0-87.5），中位数 IMI 评分为 7 分中的 6.3 分（IQR 6.2-6.3）。与不戴手套相比，使用 HandinMind 手套进行功能任务的初始表现较慢，但经过不超过 3 次重复，表现可提高至不戴手套的水平。
手部功能障碍的慢性中风患者对 HandinMind 系统的首个原型的可行性持积极态度。然而，在未来的开发阶段，应进一步提高系统的性能和易用性。
