Descrição
Resumo:People who have hand impairments caused by the most common neurological and degenerative musculoskeletal diseases face trouble to achieve their everyday tasks. To try to help these people, in this works is presented a prototype of a glove-like orthosis for upper limbs. It is an underactuated robotic glove controlled by myoeletric input signals collected by the Myo armband. The development and its details are all described so that it can be reproduced with improvements and used as an assistive device. To the authors' knowledge, in Brazil, there is no one similar orthosis such this one developed thus far.
