Abstract

In this ongoing study, an assistive wearable soft-robotic glove, named Carbonhand, is tested at home for 6 weeks by subjects with decreased handgrip strength to receive a first insight in the therapeutic effect of using this assistive grip-supporting glove during ADLs. Preliminary results of the first 13 participants showed that participants appreciated use of the glove to assist them with daily life activities. Even more, grip strength without glove improved and functional performance showed increases as well. These preliminary findings hold promise for observing a clinical effect of using the soft-robotic glove as assistance in ADLs upon completion of data collection.
