N2 - Most existing hand rehabilitation devices provide no assistance to finger abduction motions and do not control finger joints motion separately that impairs the assistance for complex motion. In this paper, we describes the design and fabrication process of a soft material 3D-printed pneumatic hand exoskeleton with finger abduction assistance and separate finger joints' flexion motion control. The performance evaluations showed that the device can carry out several kinds of grasping motion with the combination of finger flexion and abduction. Compared to existing devices, the device provides the assistance to finger abduction motions and controls finger joints motion separately, which provides better assistance to complex hand motions in rehabilitation.
