Abstract

Disclosed are a system and a method for rehabilitation exercise of hands. The system and the method help a device sense movements of the hands more accurately. The device for rehabilitation exercise of the hands comprising multiple sense parts that are located on each part of a user's hand, and configured to sense movements of the each part; and communication part configured to send movement data sensed by the multiple sense parts to an output device.

Core Innovation

A device for rehabilitation exercise of hands includes multiple sense parts configured to be located on each part of a user's hand and to sense movements of each part. The multiple sense parts comprise a plurality of finger sense parts for fingers of the hand, each finger sense part including a first phalange sense part and a second phalange sense part configured to be located on a first phalange and a second phalange of the fingers, together with a back sense part configured to be located on a back of the hand and a wrist sense part configured to be located on a wrist.

A communication part is connected with the multiple sense parts and configured to transmit movement data sensed by the multiple sense parts to an output device. Fixing tools are placed on each of the multiple sense parts and are configured to fix each of the multiple sense parts on a corresponding position. Each first phalange sense part of the plurality of finger sense parts is connected to the back sense part via each first connection part, and each second phalange sense part is connected to a corresponding first phalange sense part via each second connection part.

At least one first connection part of the plurality of finger sense parts is configured to be used as an antenna for wireless communication with the output device. The output device compares the sensed movement data with stored reference movement data and generates a notification signal when the movement data do not match the stored reference movement data.

Claims Coverage

The provided independent claims cover a hand rehabilitation exercise device with multiple sense parts on the fingers, back of the hand, and wrist, a communication part transmitting sensed movement data to an output device, and fixing tools securing the sense parts. They further specify wireless communication using a connection part as an antenna and notification signal output as tactile and/or optical. Across the independent claims, the main inventive features total six distinct inventive feature themes.

The independent claims define a hand rehabilitation exercise device with multiple sense parts on fingers, back, and wrist, a communication part sending movement data to an output device, and fixing tools securing those sense parts. They also include a wireless communication arrangement using at least one connection part as an antenna, specify notification signal output as tactile and/or optical, and define a back-side fixing tool arrangement with a wrap portion and a movable adherence part along a connection part.
