Development of a physiotherapeutic exercise device for rehabilitation

One method of rehabilitation includes the gradual increase of resistance-type exercise for the fingers and hands. Hand exercisers are well known devices for use in this purpose. Three conceptual designs were generated after conducting a critical analysis on the existing products available in the mar...
