手部復健訓練系統之研發

隨著台灣走進高齡化社會後，受到疾病與意外事故影響，患有手部功能障礙與行動不便的病患不斷增加，使得復健治療的需求日益迫切。伴隨著科技的進步發展，傳統依靠人力復健治療方式漸漸被取代，各項嶄新科技技術逐漸導入傳統機械輔具，將醫療輔助工具朝向多元化發展，這對於復健的成效與輔助有顯著的改善效果。目前針對手部功能復健所使用之輔具，其主要功能在於協助患者訓練手指伸展、彎曲及抓握能力等。此類輔具雖能幫助患者恢復手部功能，但是缺乏手指關節度變化數據及反饋系統，無法紀錄復健過程詳細狀況，加上需要長時間返往醫院復健治療，使得患者無法持之以恆，進而影響復健之成效。因此，本研究整合3D列印、機電設計、低成本開發與資料庫管理等知識技術，設計開發一套互動式手部功能復健系統。本系統使用自製資料手套，將可撓式彎曲感測器安裝於手套上作為復健量測之輔具，用以測量患者復健過程中手指關節度之變化，並將數據儲存至資料庫中，以便協助醫師日後進行追蹤與分析。同時結合3D列印機械手臂搭配不同訓練模式，讓患者可使用資料手套與機械手臂進行手部復健訓練，透過互動式的復健方式，為枯燥乏味的復健增添樂趣，同時增進病患復健動力與成效。

Taiwan has been facing the population aging problem. With the number of cases of diseases and accidents increase, patients with hand dysfunction and immobility increase. This makes the need for rehabilitation treatment increasing. With the progressive development of science and technology, the traditional rehabilitation treatment relying on human manpower has been gradually replacing. New technologies have been employed into the traditional medical aids, and this makes medical aids have diversified development. This significantly improves the effectiveness and complementarity of rehabilitation. Routinely, hand rehabilitation mainly uses medical aids to assist patients with the training of their fingers’ ability on stretching, bending and grasping. Although these medical aids can help patients to restore their hand function, it lacks of data capture of fingers’ range of movement, as well as providing training feedback. Therefore, rehabilitation process cannot be recorded. Moreover, patients need to spend time on transporting to hospital for rehabilitation training. This is very inconvenience and may affect the effectiveness of rehabilitation. This study aim to develop an interactive hand function rehabilitation system with the integration of the 3D printing technique, mechanical and electrical design, as well as database management. We have developed a glove with sensors inside it, for the measurement of the fingers’ range of movement. The fingers’ movement were recorded and stored at the database. Physicians can use such information in the future. The 3D printed mechanical hand with various training mode can be used for patients’ hand rehabilitation training. Through interactive rehabilitation, rehabilitation becomes funnier.
