A 14 year old girl had an in-uteral stroke, which caused paralysis from the elbow down. This resulted in the inability of specific movements like bending the wrist and flexion of the fingers. For a solution, we created a device that can be worn as an exoskeleton over the hand that will assist the patient in gripping objects. The exoskeleton is designed to be worn over the hand with multiple segmented parts that will be worn over each finger. Tension was created using wire and a motor is used to flex the fingers. A L-bracket in combination with a rotary angle sensor was used to measure the angle of flexion of the elbow to control whether the motor was on and how fast it would spin.
