Abstract
Introducing interactive system into portable robots for hand rehabilitation has always been a crucial topic. Moreover, hand rehabilitation with force cognition can make patients participate actively and improve rehabilitation effect. In this paper, we design a portable robotic device with interactive system for patients to rehabilitate with force cognition. Firstly, an exoskeleton glove is designed with a compact mechanical structure which is controlled by a real-time feedback system. The portable device allows patients to rehabilitate not only in hospital. Next, an interactive system including virtual environment and force cognition is introduced to detect the hand motion and collision. At last, clinical tests of our portable device is carried out with 9 subjects after tendon injury to show the effective assistance with our device.
