AB The spread of the use of robotic devices in neuro-rehabilitation therapies requires the availability oflightweight, easy-to-use, cost-effective and versatile systems. RobHand has been designed with thesegoals in mind. It is a hand exoskeleton especially suitable for patients suffering from spasticity in thefingers since it is easy to place in the hand and, from an underactuated design, allows both flexionand extension of the fingers. In this work, the structural characteristics, the mechanical design andthe development and validation of the kinematic model of the device are presented, all of whichhas been carried out taking into account the recommendations of the new IEC 80601-2-78 standard,which formalizes the concept of RACA (Rehabilitation, Assessment, Compensation, Alleviation) robotand addresses aspects of efficiency and safety, essential in this type of equipment.
