Over 17 Million people worldwide suffer a stroke each year A stroke is the largest cause of a disability with half of all survivors being left with an impairment of the hand and arm leading to an inability to execute their activities of daily living. Consequently a patient can lose motivation and hope which is key to their rehabilitation, especially when the greatest recovery can be see in the first days and weeks after a stroke. Hand of Hope Lets introduce you to the Hand of Hope, an award winning, state-of-the-art sEMG driven robotic hand rehabilitation device that combines advances...

How the Hand of Hope works The Hand of Hope is a therapeutic device that may help patients regain hand mobility through motor relearning, the patient self-initiates movement through voluntary EMG signals that indicates an intention to move. Positive Feedback Motor relearning Motor Neuron Transmit motion signal Capture voluntary EMG signal

1. Intention to Move The Hand of Hope detects the patient's intention for hand motion using voluntary EMG signals commanded by the brain 2. Motion Signal The Device processes these signals and delivers them to the hand brace 4. Positive Feedback The Patient relearns hand function through positive feedback 5. Interactive Real-time interactive games enhance the training outcomes The Hand brace provides an assistive function for hand motion 4 EMG + HOH The HOH responds to the user's desire to move the hand through a real time interactive EMG signal displayed on the bar

The hand brace is worn on the impaired hand with 2 surface sensors attached to the extensor and flexor muscles of the forearm to detect the surface electromyographic signals (sEMG) for active participation during exercise. Intended Use The Hand of Hope therapy device is intended for use in patients that require hand and forearm rehabilitation. Potential goals for the use of HOH could be, but not limited to the following: • Motor learning via interactive use of the biofeedback system • Help initiation of the voluntary muscle contraction and voluntary movement • Maintain voluntary muscle...

Children Robotic rehabilitation in children has many constraints in comparison to adult rehabilitation, these constraints range from the size of the child's hand to the interactive interface design. The Hand of Hope has been successfully applied for use with children, the small hand brace insert allows them to fit securely and enjoy the full range of the interactive games. Suitable to address neurologic/orthopedic problems of pediatric patients.

Training Modes Different training modes allow the therapist to customise the level of assistance that the Hand of Hope provides. The difficulty level of each mode can be adjusted according to the user’s need. Continuous Passive Motion Movements are passively repeated over time. Two CPM patterns are available for training: hand opening & grasping. EMG Biofeedback Training Trigger & Go The HOH will assist the user in completing the hand motion once the signal is detected above a pre-set sEMG threshold level. Trigger & Maintain The HOH will assist the user in completing the hand motion once...

The Hand of Hope's real-time interactive games play an important part in the rehabilitation process and will enhance the training outcomes and help to motivate the patient, increasing the patient's interaction with the therapist Hand & Arm Training in ONE Arm Training Many of the current rehabilitation devices At later stages of the recovery process, focus primarily on larger joints, e.g. the users can train their arm using the Tracking elbow and the shoulder. Only some focus on Forearm Support. Levels 3 and 4 of the hand/wrist training. Overall, these devices interactive...

The harder you try, the more you’re motivated, the more alert you are, the better the potential outcome. If you’re intensely focused on the task and really trying to master something for an important reason, the change experienced will be greater. Our Approach Our approach to rehabilitation is that the patient needs to be actively involved, they drive their rehabilitation forward and see the personal gains that can be made using the Hand of Hope. In active mode we use the EMG sensors and calibrate the robotic hand to the patient's very own signals, that allows the patient who has an...

The Hand of Hope is packed full of features to aid and accelerate the rehabilitation process of Patients from the early stages of their injury to achieve their recovery goals. Passive mode & Active mode The Hand of Hope has two modes of rehabilitation, not only does it work in Passive Mode but also in Active Mode providing the patient with an exciting focused participation. Readily available information Individual user settings and training parameters are stored and analysed giving the therapist access to detailed user progress information. Comfortable training experience The hand brace and...
