ABSTRACT

Central nervous system injuries from strokes lead to upper limb paralysis in 55% of patients, resulting in severe motor impairments. Medical practice shows that rehabilitation training effectively improves these motor deficits. Traditional rehabilitation methods impose significant economic burdens on society and families. Researchers, both domestically and internationally, have introduced rehabilitation robots, exemplified by the five-finger dexterous hand, to assist patients with their rehabilitation training instead of relying solely on therapists. The five-finger dexterous hand serves as a bionic actuator at the end of robotic arms, playing a crucial role in the development of medical rehabilitation robots. This paper explores the development and structural design of medical five-finger dexterous hands, discusses their current research status, bionic theories, and structural designs. The aim is to provide guidance for the design and development of medical five-finger dexterous hands while also aiding stroke patients in recovering swiftly from illness, thereby enhancing their quality of life and sense of well-being.
