“…Nevertheless, those tasks turn out to be a tough challenge for people with hand dysfunctions. Normally, patients depend on their family or on a therapist to assist them [48]. Hence, assistive SEG are intended to help patients to achieve manipulation tasks despite their restricted ROM, to interact with their surroundings, and to execute ADL by themselves.…”

“…A new trend is hybrid actuation which fits hand motion shape using soft pneumatic actuators and tendon-driven operation [7], providing customization based on rigid frames and soft muscles [48]. Table 1 reports the advantages and disadvantages of different SEG actuations.…”

“…Mostly, 3D printing two-part mold has been employed for SEG spacers [23], cable guides [73], and elastomer actuators [87] where one mold is used to create a fluid chamber inside Applied Bionics and Biomechanics the actuators and the second one is addressed to create a fabric layer on top of the actuators [41,43]. Nevertheless, low repeatability is the main drawback during this process [48]. Recent developments involve thermomethods [34], inverse flow injection [42,82], lost wax molding [88], or fused deposition modeling with 3D printing at home to reduce SEG costs and facilitate its acquisition [89].…”

“…SEG assessment can be also done based on the blocked [48], grasping [21], pinching [44], or fingertip [14] forces that are quantified using bottles, cups, balls, telephones, cans, or fruits with variable mass, size, and texture [44,51]. For cylindrical objects, the diameters go from 50 mm to 120 mm [21,75] with a mass of 300 g [107].…”

“…Connections can be assembled to work on targeted tasks, and actuators are mounted one by one [39]. Besides, modular designs for bending motions with deployable mechanisms have been adopted to reduce weight and allow natural motion [48]. SEG quality can be improved by a modularized system with relatively low cost customization, easy maintenance, and low power consumption [23].…”

This paper establishes design criteria for soft exogloves (SEG) to be used as rehabilitation or assistance devices. This research consists in identifying, selecting, and grouping SEG features based on the analysis of 91 systems that have been proposed during the last decade. Thus, function, mobility, and usability criteria are defined and explicitly discussed to highlight SEG design guidelines. Additionally, this study provides a detailed description of each system that was analysed including application, functional task, palm design, actuation type, assistance mode, degrees of freedom (DOF), target fingers, motions, material, weight, force, pressure (only for fluids), control strategy, and assessment. Such characteristics have been reported according to specific design methodologies and operating principles. Technological trends are contemplated in this contribution with emphasis on SEG design opportunity areas. In this review, suggestions, limitations, and implications are also discussed in order to enhance future SEG developments aimed at stroke survivors or people with hand disabilities.

Starting in 2015, various exoskeleton designs have been developed to facilitate interventions in the rehabilitation of patients with movement disabilities aimed primarily at flexing and extending the finger joints. This article covers the review and generation of a device for the physical rehabilitation of people diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Among the determining aspects for its manufacture, it has been detected that most have been designed with different technological tools with limited degrees of freedom (GDL) and the application of mechanical systems without studies of interaction with the user. The applied methodological framework for the development of exoskeletons of the hand includes a systematic review of the devices, referring to their mechanical, electronic and functional attributes according to the technological trends of the last five years. The information analyzed in this article allows the generation of an exoskeleton with the use of rapid prototyping techniques within user-centered digital manufacturing processes.
