Conceptualizing the Experience of Exoskeletons in Home Hand Rehabilitation After Stroke

To better understand and measure the factors that lead to hand exoskeleton acceptance to promote adherence to beyond-the-clinic task practice after stroke using exoskeleton orthoses, both passive mechanical and, increasingly, robotic. The ultimate goal is to adapt the PYTHEIA, a valid and reliable instrument explicitly designed for robotic assistive and rehabilitative technologies, to the context of home hand exoskeleton therapy extension.
