Abstract

In everyday applications, the use of hands is essential in performing many tasks. Several situations such as car acidents, labor or stroke, impair mobility and maneuverability of the hands, forcing the individual to seek rehabilitation methods. This study aims to model and develop a device for rehabilitation of the finger that allows performthemovements of flexion / extension, within the limits of each joint. Evaluating types of fingers rehabilitation devices, they are observed its peculiarities and its main advantages, culminating in proposing an efficient model. Thus, this research presents the development of a more affordable device that meets the needs of patients in order to recover their normal activities.
