A stroke can cause paralysis to multiple parts of the body, with the hands being one of the most common areas to be affected. If a stroke patient do not receive immediate and continuous rehabilitation, the possibility of becoming permanent paralysis or suffering from a muscular dystrophy will increase. Not everyone has the availability to attend private centers that can perform an effective and continuous treatment with the help of a therapist to rehabilitate hands after a stroke, for that reason it is proposed in this project to create a flexible exoskeleton for muscle rehabilitation that grands a new alternative of treatment to other people. The exoskeleton has a rehabilitation mode that include the flexion and stretch of the fingers, including the possibility to grasp objects with an average force of 3.8 N to train the subcortical area of the brain. Achieving an effective and continuous rehabilitation that supports the patient to perform a muscle training of the hand at home, to reduce the multiple daily trips to a health center. In addition, the exoskeleton allows you to train specific movements such as cylindric grasp and precision grasp, which are positions that are performed in daily activities. Completing the goal of training and recovering mobility of the hands at home, and increasing the hours of training for a better result.
