【 摘 要 】

Individuals with weakened upper limbs from stroke-related incidents need early rehabilitation with accurate tools and engaging applications to improve patient outcomes. In an effort to enhance a pre-existing version of a force-sensing rehabilitative tool, known tentatively as the Stroke Rehabilitation Hand Device, a new data acquisition board with support for up to 20 analog channels was designed and evaluated. By creating a PCB unit of the DAQ design for use in the Hand Device, adjusting and calibrating a patient;;s finger-generated forces for proper data processing became easier and more viable. From system validation testing which included exerting constant force over set intervals of time, it was found that the device can detect isometric microforces well below 1 N of force and exhibits below 5% repeatability error. The accurate and accessible nature of the device should result in quicker treatment and recovery for patients using the device.
