Abstract
© 2017 IEEE. To achieve the sufficient treatment, the rehabilitation is a main key to regenerate the hand performance. Due to one occupational therapist can rehabilitate one patient at a time and the number of patients is increasing, this causes occupational therapist overload. HEXO is a device for passive support of the joint movement by controlling through the software. It performs on four fingers which are index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. The performance has main mechanic as transmission sling that actuates the system and is integrated with PID position control through interface. There are twelve degrees of freedom: flexion and extension on each finger. Importantly, there is an emergency button that allows the exoskeleton to stop.
