Abstract: Hand motor impairments can severely limit the ability to perform everyday tasks, compromising autonomy and overall quality of life. This paper presents the design of an instrumented 3D-printed hand orthosis, entirely fabricated using Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) for flexibility and comfort, and equipped with resistive force and flex sensors to assess hand movements quantitatively. The orthosis allows real-time tracking of finger motions and force exertion during rehabilitation and grasping tasks. It also provides remote access to health professionals for rehabilitation supervision. The orthosis is customized to the user’s hand dimensions using 3D scanning technology, ensuring accurate sensor placement and adaptability to individual needs. This lightweight and flexible solution is designed for home-based rehabilitation, overcoming the limitations of traditional instrumented gloves. The paper details the design, implementation, and potential benefits of this orthosis to improve han d function evaluation recovery in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
