Study Summary
The proposed research, the development of an innovative robotic hand orthosis with intelligent grasping control, is relevant to public health as it will restore a large measure of functionality to the paralyzed hand of a person who has suffered a brachial plexus injury. The proposed orthosis will utilize novel technology that will result in a device that is compact, portable, dexterous, and intuitively controllable while overcoming the disadvantages of previously developed orthoses that rendered them difficult to use. The restoration of functionality to ones hands will significantly improve their quality of life as well as their ability to again participate in the workforce and complete dexterous activities in their daily lives.
Primary Outcome
Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure (SHAP) Construct Measured: Functional hand performance based on prehensile and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) tasks. Structure: 6 Abstract Object Tasks (grip patterns). The five most used grasp types in ADLs were selected for the experiments, which include cylinder grasp, sphere grasp, tip grasp, tripod grasp, and lateral grasp. We selected ten objects that belong to different grasp types for the experiments. Each object was grasped for five times by each
