Long rehabilitation time and possible debilitating tendon adhesion is a growing concern in patients who have undergone hand surgery in the fast-paced modern world. To combat these issues, the deXassist device is proposed
From Proof of Concept and Beyond
Controlled actuation of the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints
Once the device is set-up for the patient, these exercises will require significantly less time and attention from the supervising physiotherapist
By taking advantage of the shape memory affect, the deXassist system is able to produce accurate movements as the alloy produces force when it is exposed to temperature changes
Transition Temperature of 90 degrees
