People with disabilities have limitations in activities of daily life such as grasping a glass of water or moving an object. Orthotic products that improve or restore the functionality of the musculoskeletal system of a patient contribute to some extent to overcome the limitations described. So does the hand brace, used to treat musculoskeletal disorders caused by various diseases (rheumatic disorders, neurological, orthopedic and others). The paper shows a novel exoskeleton to g rasp any object. The novelty o f this mechanism is t hat works without external energy, it works with a wrist movement that generates a kinetic movement and helps to grasp objects with an extra force.
