Sensorimotor impairments of the hand after
stroke can drastically reduce the ability to perform activities
of daily living. Recently, there has been an increased interest
in minimally supervised and unsupervised rehabilitation to increase
therapy dosage and to complement conventional therapy.
Several devices have been developed that are simple to use and
portable. Yet, they do not incorporate diversified somatosensory
feedback, which has been suggested to promote sensorimotor
recovery. Here we present the prototype of a portable onedegree-
of-freedom hand trainer based on a novel compliant
shell mechanism. Our solution is safe, intuitive, and can be
used for various hand sizes. Importantly, it also provides rich
sensory feedback through haptic rendering.We complement our
device with a rehabilitation game, where we leverage interactive
tangible game elements with diverse haptic characteristics to
provide somatosensory training and foster recovery.
