Hand rehabilitation research has markedly benefited from the introduction of soft actuators in gloves. However, existing soft rehabilitation glove designs have several limitations in finger movements.

If you work in construction, manufacturing, or around other heavy machinery, you may be taking your work home with you in the way of aches and pains — but this equipment can also take a toll on the ...

Protein–protein interactions often play a crucial role in stabilizing protein–DNA complexes and thus facilitate site-specific DNA recognition. We have worked to incorporate such protein–protein ...

Chiba University researchers succeeded in overcoming limitations associated with finger straightening or extension without compromising existing functionality of finger bending or flexion through ...

Soft rehabilitation gloves have become popular tools for helping patients with hand function-related disabilities recover finger movement. These gloves often use soft pneumatic actuators that employ ...
