Abstract: A grasp assist system includes a glove having a glove palm and fingers, with the glove worn on a user's hand. A sensor measures flexion of the glove fingers, and thus a change of position and/or attitude of the fingers is determined. Finger saddles at least partially surround a phalange of a respective one of the user's fingers. The system uses one or more tendon actuators to pull on flexible tendons. Each tendon connects to a respective finger saddle. A controller is in communication with the actuators and sensor(s). The glove may use feedback from optional contact sensors to adjust tension, and may have a built-in restorative force. In executing a control method, the controller selectively applies tension to the tendons in response to finger flexion, via the tendon actuators, at a level sufficient for moving the user's fingers when the user executes a hand maneuver.

Abstract: A moving device for moving a human thumb, in particular for moving the thumb between a resting position and a grasping position. A thumb bending section is adapted to at least partially move the thumb between a flexed position and an extended position. The thumb bending section has a gear unit for transforming a rotation of a rotation element, which is rotatably mounted to a housing, into an essentially linear movement between a translation element and the housing. The thumb bending section further has a first flexion spring mechanically connected to the translation element and adapted to be fixed with a first proximal end of the first flexion spring relative to a human thumb at a position in a proximal distance to the metacarpophalangeal joint or at a position between the metacarpophalangeal joint and the carpometacarpal joint.

Abstract: An adaptive assistive and/or rehabilitative device may be configurable for use with another assistive device, such as a wearable assistive device. When the wearable assistive device is a robotic device such as an exoskeleton, the adaptive assistive and/or rehabilitative device may be transformed into a first configuration for charging or storing the exoskeleton, a second configuration for transport of the exoskeleton, a third configuration for assistance in donning of the exoskeleton by a user, and a fourth configuration for assisting the user while standing or walking with the exoskeleton.
