“…The SAO-i2 showed that the friction forces in the parallelogram cables had to be minimized and any non-smoothed surface of the cable guiding had a strong influence on the permanence. Again, it also lacked wrist interaction (Ates et al 2014b;Ates et al 2015).…”

“…During the SCRIPT Project we investigated multiple finger and wrist actuation mechanisms in either passively or actively actuated orthoses (Ates et al 2015). Based on the lessons we learned from this development process, we decided that passive but dynamic interaction was the best approach for the final design presented here, called the SPO-F (see Fig.…”

“…We also placed a torsion spring between these drums and measured the deflection of this torsion spring with the help of a small potentiometer (Bourns 2015) which served as a series elastic torque sensor. Nine patients compared the SAO-i3 to the SPO they used previously (Ates et al 2015). SAO-i3 showed us that it was possible to combine wrist and finger actuation via one single actuator, but the device became heavy (1.5 kg), bulky, and highly complex (Ates et al 2014b;Ates et al 2015).…”

“…This mechanism was to compliantly distribute the assistance extension forces from one source (electric actuator) to the individual fingers. SAO-i1 showed us that it was possible to adjust the assistance automatically via one single electric actuator for each finger individually but it lacked wrist interaction (Ates et al 2014b;Ates et al 2015).…”

Recovery of functional hand movements after stroke is directly linked to rehabilitation duration and intensity. Continued therapy at home has the potential to increase both. For many patients this requires a device that helps them overcome the hyperflexion of wrist and fingers that is limiting their ability to open and use their hand. We developed an interactive hand and wrist orthosis for post-stroke rehabilitation that provides compliant and adaptable extension assistance at the wrist and fingers, interfaces with motivational games based on activities of daily living, is integrated with an off-the-shelf mobile arm support and includes novel wrist and finger actuation mechanisms. During the iterative development, multiple prototypes have been evaluated by therapists in clinical settings and used intensively and independently by 33 patients at home. This paper details the final design of the SCRIPT passive orthosis resulting from these efforts.

I would like to thank my advisor Prof. Domenico Prattichizzo for guiding and supporting me over the years. You have been a tremendous mentor and have set an example of excellence as instructor and role model. Prof, thank you so much for encouraging my research and for allowing me to grow as a research scientist. Your advice on both research as well as on my career have been priceless.. I would like to thank my thesis committee members for all of their guidance through the process, discussion, ideas and feedback have been absolutely invaluable.A special thanks to my family for the love, support and constant encouragement I have gotten over the years. In particular, I am very grateful to my parents and my brothers. I undoubtedly could not have done this without you.I wish to thank my fellow lab mates for helping me during these years of hard work. It was a great experience to share the lab space with such brilliant minds, who were always willing to support my endeavors and extend a helping hand in my research. iv 8 A magnetic compatible supernumerary robotic finger for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) acquisitions: device description and preliminary results.
