Hand rehabilitation device

A hand rehabilitation device, for rehabilitating motility and functionality of metacarpus-phalanx, proximal interphalanx and distal interphalanx joints which are injured or reduced subsequent to a trauma, in a post-surgery period, or in the case of hand paresis or paralysis subsequent to central nervous system diseases, spinal cord injuries, peripheral neuropathies, and for improving the hand joint movements in association with a physiotherapist's treatment during rehabilitation sessions, said rehabilitation device comprising:

• an orthosis adapted to be fitted to partially cover a user's hand and forearm;
• flexible rods for a passive and assisted active, concurrent and/or selective, bending/extension of the user's five fingers with exercises, sequences and/or combinations of movements freely settable by the user;
• elements for sliding and supporting of the flexible rods during bending/extension of the fingers;
• “finger socks” or bands provided with thimbles, fixed rods or plates stabilized to thimbles and hinged to flexible rods;
• a movement/command and control unit integral to the orthosis or remoted located relative to the orthosis;
• five actuators for moving the flexible rods;
• means for adjusting the tension of said flexible rods;
• and
• means for adjusting and adapting the rehabilitation device to the hand's anatomical features.
