Abstract

This paper describes the development of a finger-rehabilitation robot for rehabilitating stroke patients' fingers and other patient’s paralyzed fingers. The developed finger rehabilitation robot is composed of a thumb-rehabilitation robot instrument and four finger rehabilitation robot instruments. The finger-rehabilitation robot could exercise fingers of patient for their rehabilitation. A control characteristic test of the developed rectangular-type finger-rehabilitation robot was carried out, and the results confirmed that the robot could be used for the flexibility rehabilitation exercise for the fingers of normal person and patients.
