摘要:This article presents an experimental characterization of ExoFinger, a finger exoskeleton for finger motion assistance. The exoskeletal device is analyzed in experimental lab activities that have been conducted with different users to characterize the operation performance and to demonstrate the adaptability of the proposed device. The behavior of this device is characterized in detail using sensors to measure finger motion and power consumption. Sensor measures also demonstrate the given motion assistance performance in terms of an electrical finger response and finger temperature by resulting in an efficient solution with a large motion range of a finger in assistance of recovering finger motion.
