MITEx: A Portable Hand Exoskeleton for Assessment and Treatment in Neurological Rehabilitation.
This work describes the design and preliminary characterization of a novel portable hand exoskeleton for poststroke rehabilitation. The platform actively mobilizes the index-metacarpophalangeal (I-MCP) joint, and it additionally offers individual rigid support to distal degrees of freedom (DoFs) of the index and thumb. The test-bench characterization proves the capability of the device to render torques at the I-MCP level with high fidelity within frequencies of interest for the application (up to 3 Hz). The introduction of a feed-forward friction compensation at the actuator level lowers the output mechanical stiffness by 32%, contributing to a highly transparent behavior; moreover, the functionality of the platform in rendering different interaction strategies (patient/robot-in-charge) is tested with three healthy subjects, showing the potential of the device to provide assistance as needed.
