在本文中，我们提出了一个全面的审查手外骨骼技术的康复和辅助工程，从基本的手生物力学致动器技术。由于机电系统的机械设计和控制算法的快速发展，外骨骼装置已得到显著发展，但仍限于在较大身体区域（例如，上肢和下肢）中使用。然而，由于其要求更小的尺寸和丰富的触觉传感能力，手外骨骼仍然面临着许多技术领域的挑战，包括手生物力学，神经生理学。康复，执行器和传感器，物理人机交互和人体工程学。本文综述了主动手外骨骼在康复和辅助机器人领域的应用现状。这些手外骨骼设备的主要要求也被确定和现有设备的机械设计进行了分类，主动手外骨骼机器人所面临的挑战进行了讨论。
In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of hand exoskeleton technologies for rehabilitation and assistive engineering, from basic hand biomechanics to actuator technologies. Because of rapid advances in mechanical designs and control algorithms for electro-mechanical systems, exoskeleton devices have been developed significantly, but are still limited to use in larger body areas such as upper and lower limbs. However, because of their requirements for smaller size and rich tactile sensing capabilities, hand exoskeletons still face many challenges in many technical areas, including hand biomechanics, neurophysiology. rehabilitation, actuators and sensors, physical human-robot interactions and ergonomics. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of active hand exoskeletons for applications in the areas of rehabilitation and assistive robotics. The main requirements of these hand exoskeleton devices are also identified and the mechanical designs of existing devices are classified The challenges facing an active hand exoskeleton robot are also discussed.
