ABSTRACT
Hand injuries are a frequent
problem in actual society. These are often caused while working or exercising, but
simple everyday activities can also be the cause. The most common injuries are those
related to soft tissue; specifically, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. To improve
therapy results and reduce its cost and needed time, a self-rehabilitation system
for soft tissue injuries in the hands was developed. The proposed system is meant
to be implemented on Smart TVs and can be used in the home of the injured people.
To identify the most common movements of the injured limbs, and design proper therapies
to be displayed by the system, an exoskeleton prototype which supports four degrees
of freedom of the hand was constructed. We examined scenarios to provide services
for individuals and created a scenario-based prototype, which was tested by an exercise
therapist to verify compliance with the requirements of users.
