    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Neurorehabilitation
    • Robotics

    Background:

    • Stroke often results in impaired hand function, necessitating innovative rehabilitation strategies.
    • Current methods may not fully leverage cognitive engagement or synergistic muscle activation.
    • A detached robotic hand controlled by non-hand muscles offers a novel approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and pilot test a novel rehabilitative approach for post-stroke hand movement.
    • To utilize a detached robotic hand controlled by synergistic torso muscle activities.
    • To enhance cognitive engagement through a visible and audible robotic hand system.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a simple, low-cost detached robotic hand.
    • Control of robotic hand via electromyogram (EMG) signals from anterior and posterior torso muscles.
    • Integration of visual and auditory feedback for enhanced user engagement.
    • Pilot testing on one able-bodied adult and five mildly impaired stroke survivors.

    Main Results:

    • The robotic hand system demonstrated functional control with low variability in duration, excursion, and response time.
    • Participants successfully controlled the detached robotic hand, with some showing increased reactive force and muscle activity during concurrent biological finger use.
    • The system proved functional and applicable for stroke survivors, with or without concurrent biological hand involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel rehabilitative approach using a detached robotic hand controlled by torso muscles is functional and feasible for stroke survivors.
    • This synergistic muscle-robot interaction shows potential as a rehabilitation tool for improving post-stroke hand movement.
    • Further studies can explore the efficacy of this approach in clinical settings.
