Effects of the EMG-driven Hand Robot Training in Patients With Hand Dysfunction Due to Nerve Damage From Burns

"Robot rehabilitation program was applied with Hand of Hope®(Rehab-Robotics Company, Hong Kong), and EMG-driven exoskeleton. The biggest advantage of this system is that it measures the residual muscle activity values with surface EMG(sEMG) sensors. The residual muscles activity is used by giving feedback to the patient.~This treatment program, which was applied to both groups in the study, consisted of joint range of motion (ROM) exercises, stretching exercises for burn scars, strengthening exercises using putty or bands, and fine motor training such as writing and using a chopstick."
