    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Neuroprosthetics
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Chronic stroke often results in impaired hand grasping abilities, significantly limiting daily life activities.
    • Existing assistive devices may not offer the adaptability required for diverse object manipulation tasks.
    • Compensating for lost hand function is crucial for improving patient independence and quality of life.

    Observation:

    • A wearable robotic extra-finger, the Robotic Sixth Finger, was developed for chronic stroke patients.
    • This modular, articulated device adapts its structure to the shape of grasped objects.
    • The extra-finger and the paretic hand work cooperatively, mimicking a two-part gripper.

    Findings:

    • Feasibility was evaluated with four chronic stroke patients using the Frenchay Arm Test.
    • The Robotic Sixth Finger increased patient scores by two points on a five-point scale.
    • Patients successfully performed grasping tasks that were previously impossible without the device.

    Implications:

    • The robotic extra-finger shows significant promise for functional compensation in chronic stroke survivors.
    • This approach can enhance the ability to perform everyday life activities.
    • Further development could lead to improved assistive solutions for individuals with hand impairments.
