Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the safety and usability of the WRL HX MCP medical device, a prototypal robotic system for metacarpophalangeal joint mobilization. WRL HX MCP was developed by the Wearable Robotics Laboratory of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in a project funded by and in collaboration with INAIL, to fulfil the needs of patients with post-traumatic hand stiffness.

DEVICE

WRL HX MCP

WRL HX MCP is a non CE marked class IIa medical device designed for clinical application in hand rehabilitation; it consists in a cable-driven robotic MCP orthosis providing flexion-extension of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint. WRL HX MCP features and a series-elastic actuators (SEA) architecture for compliant actuation of MCP flexion-extension and a self-aligning mechanism to absorb human/robot joint axes misplacement. Exoskeleton module is mounted on a dorsal hand support and connected to its electronic box through wires.
