摘要
This paper describes the design and implementation of an exoskeleton glove for infants of ages ranging from 12 months to 3 years. The glove is capable of assisting the patient in achieving a pincer grasp in active and passive modes of operation. It can record information about the hand movement, forces exerted by the fingers on the exoskeleton frame, and provide vibration stimuli to the finger tips. The data recorded by the glove can be used in early diagnosis of cerebral palsy among high risk infants. It can also be used as a standalone device for rehabilitation purposes. The hardware, software architecture and experimental validation of the system are outlined in this paper.
