摘要：
Provided is a hand exoskeleton device that is compact, lightweight, is worn at the fingers of a human body, and is capable of assisting in activities of daily living. The hand exoskeleton device performs motion conversion by means of a single drive means by means of a three-layer sliding spring mechanism, thereby transmitting motive force with respect to the metacarpophalangeal joints, the proximal interphalangeal joints, and the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers of a human, thus being able to assist in activities of daily living. By means of the hand exoskeleton device, it is possible to achieve a device that supports the grasping action of the fingers of a human body in a manner that is more lightweight and compact than has been conventional. The hand exoskeleton device is characterized by being able to transmit a large driving force and being able to drive the flexion and extension of the three joints of the fingers by means of a single drive means. Furthermore, the device main body has flexibility, and so driving is possible in a safe manner.
