Project and Motivation
Our group is working on developing a well-polished version of the hand exoskeleton used with IpsiHand because the initial version consisted simply of a brace and a linear actuator. While this worked great as a proof of concept version, there are numerous design improvements that need to be made for commercialization:
- low profile design
- rapid setup/takedown time
- designed to handle spasticity
- possibility of individual finger actuation
- independent power source
- sturdier overall construction
The second version exoskeleton project has is currently underway. Progress can be viewed here:
