This study presents a dynamic orthosis designed to support the therapies of patients with muscle stiffness in the hand through gripping and relaxation movements. The orthosis features a modular design with sections for the phalanges, palm, and forearm, enabling adjustments to fit different hand and arm sizes. It uses motors to generate hand movements and feedback sensors for precise position adjustments during therapy. Testing demonstrated its effectiveness and adaptability in different users. Future improvements include validating the device with professionals for clinical use.

This study presents a dynamic orthosis designed to support the therapies of patients with muscle stiffness in the hand through gripping and relaxation movements. The orthosis features a modular design with sections for the phalanges, palm, and forearm, enabling adjustments to fit different hand and arm sizes. It uses motors to generate hand movements and feedback sensors for precise position adjustments during therapy. Testing demonstrated its effectiveness and adaptability in different users. Future improvements include validating the device with professionals for clinical use.
