Finger grip rehabilitation using exoskeleton with grip force feedback

Abstract

This paper is introduces a pair of exoskeleton hand for finger rehabilitation. There is slave and master exoskeleton was designed to have force feedback system on griping force. The exoskeleton system construction is divided to three parts. First is the hybrid conductive silicone construction is shown and the best way to use as force sensor is presented. Followed by Labview configuration with force feedback system is presented. Third is the mechanical designed principle of exoskeleton is explained in this paper. Finally the response of the system is presented.
