Abstract
This study developed a soft pneumatic glove actuated by elliptical cross-sectional guided bending bellows to augment finger-knuckle rehabilitation for patients with hand dysfunction. The guided bending bellows actuators (GBBAs) are made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials, demonstrating the necessary air tightness as a pneumatic actuator. The GBBAs could produce different moments of inertia when increasing internal air pressure drives the GBBAs bending along distinct symmetry planes and exhibits anisotropic kinematic bending performance. Actuated by GBBAs, wearable soft rehabilitation gloves can be used for daily rehabilitation training of hand dysfunction to enhance the range of motion of the finger joint. To control each finger of the gloves independently to achieve the function of manipulating gestures, a multi-channel pneumatic control system is designed, and each air circuit is equipped with an air-pressure sensor to make adjustments based on feedback. Compared with general soft robotic exoskeleton gloves currently used for hand dysfunction, the GBBAs actuated soft gloves have the advantage of enhancing the rehabilitation strength, finger movement range, and multi-action coordination applied with guided bending bellows actuators.
