The project “OHand – Rehabilitation device” consists of a rehabilitation device that serves as a tool to facilitate the patient’s recovery from disability and, in the same way, is an aid for the doctor in the therapeutic activity. With advancing age or as a result of trauma, many people are subject to more or less severe, treatable or degenerative physical disabilities in their hands, which make everyday life more demanding and sometimes tiring. In particular, the most severe hand disabilities can not only create problems of mobility and pain, but can also affect the emotional level with the occurrence of depression.
