Cover Story:

Describes the design and validation of an Adaptable Fingers’ Assistive Device

• It consists of four slider-crank mechanisms. Each slider-crank moves one finger (from the index to the little finger).

• The mechanism can execute the motion of any finger by adjusting the length of one single link.

• Experimental tests have been carried out to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed device. View this paper
