In various forms of movement of finger rehabilitation training, Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) of single degree of freedom (1 DOF) has outstanding application value. Taking classic flexion and extension movement for instance, this study collected the joint angle data of finger flexion and extension motion by experiments and confirmed that the joint motion of finger are not independent of each other but there is certain rule. This paper studies the finger joint movement rule from qualitative and quantitative aspects, and the conclusion can guide the design of the mechanism and control method of finger rehabilitation training robot.

Functional recovery of upper limb after stroke is crucial to restore the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). This paper presents a robotic rehabilitation approach based on repetitive exercise aimed to help stroke survivors relearn the skills of finger flexion and extension at the comfort of their home. The finger rehabilitation device deploysShape Memory Alloy(SMA) wires as an actuation approach to deliver three degrees of freedom per finger module. The advantages and challenges of using SMA wires rather than conventional actuators are discussed. A prototype of the finger rehabilitation device was built using PLA material and experiments have been conducted for the purposes of feasibility study. Tests conducted on the wires suggest that it has to have sufficient weight and also has to be stretching at high temperature rather than room temperature in order to have an optimum range of recovery.

We studied the initiation and sequence of digital joint motion during unrestricted flexion and extension using a 3-D motion analysis of all fingers moving simultaneously. Our results showed that motion started in a single joint in 83% of flexion and 80% of extension cycles. The DIP joint initiated flexion and extension in the index, middle, and ring fingers, but in the little finger, flexion started in the PIP joint, and extension in the MP joint. The two most frequent sequences of joint movement during flexion of the three radial fingers were DIP-PIP-MP and PIP-DIP-MP. The two most frequent sequences during extension of the three radial fingers were DIP-MP-PIP followed by DIP-MP/PIP. In the little finger, however, the most frequent sequences during flexion were PIP-DIP-MP followed by DIP-PIP-MP and during extension, DIP-MP/PIP followed by PIP/DIP-MP
