| contents | Designing effective hand rehabilitation devices requires integrating clinical needs with engineering solutions. This study shows how to apply the PICO framework (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) to guide the development of two robotic hand exoskeletons: a rigid device and a tendon-driven soft glove. The rigid exoskeleton provides precise, repeatable finger actuation, suitable for patients requiring controlled movements, while the soft glove offers compliant, adaptable assistance for users with low hand strength or spasticity. Comparative analysis highlights differences in actuation, adaptability, and user interaction. Preliminary tests demonstrate improved range of motion and exercise repeatability for both devices. The PICO approach proves a practical tool to systematically translate clinical requirements into user-centered rehabilitation device design. |
