A wearable soft-robotic glove used as assistive device for hand grip in daily life has shown an additional therapy effect on grip strength, although the extent of this effect varies across individuals. Besides, clinical applicability is crucial for adoption of wearable technology in practice. Investigating its clinical applicability via interviews and questionnaires revealed that use of the soft-robotic glove is well received and accepted by both patients and healthcare professionals (HCP). To better understand which factors were associated with larger changes in grip strength, correlations were calculated. No obvious relations were found with any of the subject characteristics, nor with use time. Further research is needed to better understand the factors describing which patients are more likely to benefit from use of the soft-robotic glove.

摘要

A wearable soft-robotic glove used as assistive device for hand grip in daily life has shown an additional therapy effect on grip strength, although the extent of this effect varies across individuals. Besides, clinical applicability is crucial for adoption of wearable technology in practice. Investigating its clinical applicability via interviews and questionnaires revealed that use of the soft-robotic glove is well received and accepted by both patients and healthcare professionals (HCP). To better understand which factors were associated with larger changes in grip strength, correlations were calculated. No obvious relations were found with any of the subject characteristics, nor with use time. Further research is needed to better understand the factors describing which patients are more likely to benefit from use of the soft-robotic glove.
