JOINT MOTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING JOINT MOTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE

摘要

To mount this joint motion assistance device over a hand, a hand worn part (110) is first worn over the palm and the back of the hand. Then, utilizing the hard portion of a first attachment part (120A), the first attachment part (120A) is inserted between curled fingers and the underside of the area to which the curled fingers are joined so that the first attachment part (120A) is mounted to the proximal phalanx area. Then, utilizing the hard portion of a second attachment part (130A), the second attachment part (130A) is inserted between the curled fingers and the underside of the area to which the curled fingers are joined so that the second attachment part 130A is attached to the area including the middle phalanx area. Thereafter, the hook side of a hook-and-loop fastener is affixed to the second attachment part (130A), the first attachment part (120A), and the hand worn part (110), the hook-and-loop fastener being attached to the side of a finger joint motion assistance part (140_j (j=2, …, 5)) opposite the side to which a transmission member is fixed.
