Full description

The following study seeks to provide information regarding to the RobHand exoskeleton for hand neuromotor maintenance and/or rehabilitation, developed by the University of Valladolid, Spain. The study was carried out by the Neurotchnology Group of the Research and Development Area of the Corporación de Rehabilitación Club de Leones Cruz del Sur, Chile. Clinical test were implemented on four subjects with Stroke sequelae who participated in two evaluations of manual function and 16 training sessions with the robotic exoskeleton, in order to know the clinical effects on manual function, safety and satisfaction of users who utilize the exoskeleton RobHand.
