A tension adjustment structure of a hand rehabilitation device includes a palm orthosis body, a forearm orthosis body, and a tension adjustment unit. The palm orthosis body includes a plurality of finger support rods and a thumb support rod. The forearm orthosis body includes a fixing seat. The tension adjustment unit includes a plurality of elastic members. First ends of the elastic members are connected to the finger support rods and the thumb support rod, respectively. Second ends of the elastic members are connected to the fixing seat. The elastic members are adjustable to generate different stretching tensions by adjusting respective lengths of the second ends of the elastic members to be secured to the fixing seat.

A rehabilitation device includes a first support unit adapted to support palms of a rehabilitation patient; a second support unit which is provided in one side of the first support unit and adapted to support fingers of the rehabilitation patient; a driving unit which moves the second support unit toward a direction of a back of a hand of the rehabilitation patient; and a joint unit which allows the first support unit to be tilted as the second support unit moves.

A forearm synergy training device includes a support swingable on a base and having an arcuate sliding rail portion, a sliding unit movable on the arcuate sliding rail portion, and a synergistic assembly connected to the base, the support and the sliding unit for driving the sliding unit to slide along the arcuate sliding rail portion when the support is swung. A wearable unit is removably disposed on the support and the sliding unit, and is sleeved on a hand and a forearm of a user. When the user's elbow bends, the support is swung by the forearm through the wearable unit, so that the hand and the forearm are driven by the sliding unit to rotate along the arcuate sliding rail portion.

Proposed is a rehabilitation exercise device for upper and lower limbs. The rehabilitation exercise device is characterized by including: a first support supporting a user's hand or foot; a second support supporting a user's forearm or calf; a pair of first hinges rotatably connecting the first support and the second support to each other; a third support supporting a user's upper arm or thigh; a pair of second hinges rotatably connecting the second support and the third support to each other; and a drive module selectively mounted on any one of the pair of first hinges and the pair of second hinges, and configured to pivot the first support or the second support.

Orthoses, which are recommended for those suffering from spastic cerebral palsy to wear during sleep, may require manual adjustment and can cause discomfort while the wearer is trying to fall asleep. Accordingly, a patient-responsive orthosis is provided that includes a forearm splint, a hand actuator, a motor that extends the hand of the wearer by moving the hand actuator, memory that stores instructions, and a processor that extends the hand of the wearer in response to the instructions by causing the motor to move the hand actuator. The orthosis may include a sleep sensor and may be programmed to extend the hand of the wearer while the wearer is asleep. The patient-responsive orthosis may be programmed (e.g., by a clinician specifying a treatment schedule) using a remote device. The patient-responsive orthosis may also store and output usage data (e.g., for review by a clinician).

An individual linkage mechanism for a finger of an exoskeleton glove with sections that are interconnected with joints to enable changing their mutual angular orientation, which linkage mechanism includes a first linkage attached to the glove, a second linkage connected to the first linkage through a first joint, a third linkage connected to the second linkage through a second joint, and a fourth linkage connected to the third linkage through a third joint, wherein the fourth linkage is provided with a finger orthosis, and the second linkage, the third linkage and the fourth linkage are capable to assume a mutually parallel placement wherein the finger orthosis is adjacent to the second joint at a farthest end from the glove, and the third joint is closer to the glove than the second joint.

Exercise robot suitable for rehabilitation and methods of its operation are provided. In particular a method in which the exercise robot learns an exercise movement on the basis of movements conducted by the aid of a human assistant holding the leg of a patient and moving the leg with muscular form to conduct an exercise movement. The rehabilitation robot actively accompanies the exercise movement in an active compliance mode and records the movement so as to determine an exercise movement stored in the control unit of the device. The rehabilitation robot can then produce the determined exercise in an exercise mode.

An active orthotic device, e.g. a hand orthosis, is attached to one or more limbs of a human subject and comprises a respective set of actuators (21) for moving a respective limb (1A) among the one or more limbs. A method for controlling the orthotic device comprises obtaining one or more bioelectric signals, [S(t)], from one or more bioelectric sensors (10) attached to or implanted in the human subject; processing the one or more bioelectric signals, [5(t)], for prediction of an intended application force, FA(t), of the respective limb (1A) onto an object; obtaining a force signal, PA(t), from a force sensing device (22) associated with the respective set of actuators (21) and/or the respective limb (1A); and generating, as a function of a momentary difference, e(t), between the intended application force, FA(t), and the force signal, PA(t), a respective set of control signals, it(t), for the respective set of actuators (21).

An interactive upper limb rehabilitation training system includes an interactive display screen, a host computer control center, a dual-arm rehabilitation robot, a movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base, and a position tracker. The dual-arm rehabilitation robot is mounted on the movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base, and drives an arm of a patient to move through two end effectors. The movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base adjusts an operating space of the dual-arm rehabilitation robot. The position tracker is used for real-time collecting position and posture information of the arm, and transmitting it to the host computer control center and the interactive display screen. The interactive display screen is used for synchronous operating a game by the position and posture information. The host computer control center is used to store patient information, and is used to provide a quantitative index after evaluating a rehabilitation process of the patient.
