PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a finger rehabilitation device allowing the disabled to clench and unclench paralytic-side fingers by a force of the healthy-side fingers, highly expected to recover and restructure the brain, having high safety, suited for use in facilities and general households, and reducing the cost of the device.SOLUTION: First fixing members for the healthy-side fingers and second fixing members for the paralytic-side upper fingers are connected to each other by an operation transmitting means via a force transmitting member, so that an operation having same operation amounts, operation speeds and operation directions to those of the first fixing members can be simultaneously and mechanically transmitted to the second fixing members. Consequently, the disabled can clench and unclench the paralytic-side fingers by the force of the healthy-side fingers. This finger rehabilitation device is thus highly expected to recover and restructure the brain, has high safety, is suited for use in facilities and the general households, and reduces the cost of the device.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】障害者が健常側の手指の力で麻痺側の手指を握り開きでき、脳の回復、再構築の期待および安全性が高く、施設および一般家庭用としても好適で、装置の低コスト化も図れる手指リハビリテーション装置を提供する。【解決手段】健常側の手指用の第1の固定部材と、麻痺側の上手指用の第2の固定部材とを、力伝達部材を介して動作伝達手段により連結したので、第1の固定部材の動作量、動作速度、動作方向がそれぞれ同一となる動作を、第2の固定部材へ同時かつメカニカルに伝達できる。その結果、障害者が健常側の手指の力で麻痺側の手指を握り開きでき、これにより脳の回復、再構築の期待および安全性が高く、施設および一般家庭用としても好適で、装置の低コスト化も図れる。【選択図】図1
