GAHand Family Rehabilitation Exoskeleton

GAHand Family Rehabilitation Exoskeleton can assist with multi-mode and multi-part upper-limb rehabilitation training at home. EEG signals from the patient’s brain are collected to control how the exoskeleton moves, and 3D printing technology is applied to customise the exoskeleton and reduce its weight. To meet the rehabilitation needs of different patients, GAhand uses a modular design with different modules to provide three different usage modes and rehabilitation movements: hand grasping, wrist bending, and elbow bending. EEG signals from the patient’s brain are collected and used to control how the exoskeleton moves, thereby inducing nervous function remodelling. The drive modules can be unloaded to reduce weight for different usage modes. This active control method can increase the patient’s initiative, promote the remodelling of the nervous functions, and enhance the overall effects of rehabilitative training.
