Robotic Hand Orthosis Providing Grasp Assistance for Patients With Brachial Plexus Injuries
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exoskeleton glove for Brachial Plexus Injury. Completed, enrolled 3 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed research, the development of an innovative robotic hand orthosis with intelligent grasping control, is relevant to public health as it will restore a large measure of functionality to the paralyzed hand of a person who has suffered a brachial plexus injury. The proposed orthosis will utilize novel technology that will result in a device that is compact, portable, dexterous, and intuitively controllable while overcoming the disadvantages of previously developed orthoses that rendered them difficult to use. The restoration of functionality to ones hands will significantly improve their quality of life as well as their ability to again participate in the workforce and complete dexterous activities in their daily lives.
