The following article focuses on the selection and design of a hand orthosis, a medical device used to aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of patients with hand injuries or disabilities. To achieve an effective recovery, it is essential to take into account the length of each of the phalanges and the maximum angles of the metacarpophalangeal, digital and proximal interphalangeal joints. Additionally, selection of the proper motor for the orthosis should be based on the dynamic and static torques needed to provide the required support and mobility. This article will provide valuable information for medical professionals and patients seeking to improve quality of life after hand injury or disability.
