Assistive devices (ADs) are products intended to overcome the difficulties produced by
the reduction in mobility and grip strength entailed by ageing and different pathologies.
Nevertheless, there is little information about the effect that the use of these devices
produces on hand kinematics. Thus, the aim of this work is to quantify this effect
through the comparison of kinematic parameters (mean posture, ROM, median
velocity and peak velocity) while performing activities of daily living (ADL) using
normal products and ADs. Twelve healthy right-handed subjects performed 11 ADL
with normal products and with 17 ADs wearing an instrumented glove on their right
hand, 16 joint angles being recorded. ADs significantly affected hand kinematics,
although the joints affected differed according to the AD. Furthermore, some pattern
effects were identified depending on the characteristics of the handle of the ADs,
namely, handle thickening, addition of a handle to products that initially did not have
one, extension of existing handles or addition of handles to apply higher torques. An
overview of the effects of these design characteristics on hand kinematics is presented as
a basis for the selection of the most suitable AD depending on the patient’s impairments. [-]
