| Abstract |
After receiving treatment for cerebrovascular disease, rehabilitation becomes a crucial priority for patients to facilitate their return to normal life. Haptic devices have emerged as a significant tool in rehabilitating patients due to their ability to provide tactile feedback and simulate touch with virtual objects. While previously used for various purposes in fields such as arts and design, data analysis, and medicine, haptic devices have now been adopted in the patient rehabilitation process to simulate force. However, before incorporating haptic devices as a rehabilitation system for patients, it is essential to conduct research on the device's specifications, including its kinematic parameters. Therefore, this paper presents a paradigm-based design of haptic devices for rehabilitating stroke patients' hands. The characteristics of the device and the primary rehabilitation system employed for patients are also discussed. Additionally, it provides examples of the kinematic parameters obtained from user testing of the developed system.
