A voice-controlled, tendon-driven soft robotic hand rehabilitation exoskeleton for hand function improvement in patients with cervical SCI and a new fabrication process utilizing high consistency rubber silicone is used to construct a formfitting, durable, and customizable exOSkeleton glove.

A smartphone-based voice recognition system interprets user intention and is utilized for various grasping tasks and a bio-inspired tendon routing mechanism provides four-degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) across the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

A voice-controlled, tendon-actuated soft exoskeleton for improving hand function rehabilitation is proposed to provide a hands-free control interface and a simplified user interface experience while retaining distinct user intention.

A novel clinical-driven robotic hand rehabilitation device, which is capable of fine haptic rendering, and that supports physiological full flexion/extension of the fingers while offering an effortless setup, has the potential for high clinical acceptance, applicability and effectiveness.

A low-cost, open-source, instrumented hand that enables human-like double exponential finger joint stiffness and improves on the state of the art, which comprises linear joint stiffness profiles, non-anthropomorphic size and shape, and inaccurate thumb kinematics.

A novel wearable flexible hand exoskeleton is proposed to assist users in activities of daily life and 3D printing is used to manufacture most of the components, and a remote drive system is designed to reduce the weight of the handExoskeleton.

A personalized spatial stiffness distribution design is presented for a portable and strengthful hand orthosis that significantly restored the range of motion and improved the performance of daily activities.

Modifications to HEXORR I, a robotic device that allows practice of finger and thumb movements with robotic assistance, are described and a clinical trial in individuals with chronic stroke is conducted, finding reductions in upper extremity impairment.

A ring-type biomimetic finger extension mechanism was developed, which mimics the origin, structure, and orientation of the extensor tendon, and the fully extended posture was most close to the voluntary finger extension among the tendon-driven mechanisms used in the experiments.

A newly developed Hand Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot (HEXORR) designed to provide full range of motion (ROM) for all of the hand's digits and a force assistance mode that provides extension assistance based on each individual's needs is introduced.

The Biomimetic Hand Exoskeleton Device is actuated by exotendons that mimic the geometry of the major tendons of the hand that improve the kinematics of the tip-pinch task in stroke survivors and resulted in a significant reduction in the fingertip-thumb tip distance.

The design of a soft wearable exoskeleton that comprises of a glove embedded with pneumatic actuators of variable stiffness for hand assistive and rehabilitation application is presented, which could achieve hand grasping and pinching with acceptable range of motion and force.

The control method using electromyography (EMG) sensor presented in this paper uses the EMG sensor values to generate a trajectory, which is executed by a position control loop based on sliding mode control.

The ATX presented in this work permits independent bi-directional actuation in each of the 5 degrees-of-freedom of the thumb using a mechanism that has 5 active DOF and 3 passive DOF.

A comfortable aid which automatically improves the grasping capability of a human independently of the particular task being performed, without the need for an external mechanical structure in the form of an exoskeleton is introduced.

A virtual reality (VR)-enhanced new hand rehabilitation support system that enables patients to exercise alone and features a multi-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) motion assistance robot, a VR interface for patients, and a symmetrical master-slave motion assistance training strategy called "self-motion control".

The primary application of the proposed mechanism is to provide robotic support during physical therapy at the hospital, but it could also be used at home as an assistive/therapeutic device to support activities of daily living.
