Abstract

In this study, a wearable soft-robotic glove that is connected to a computer with therapeutic software to train hand function (the ironHand therapeutic system, iH TS) is introduced. This study explored usability of the iH TS after first use without receiving instructions from researchers. The results on the System Usability Scale (SUS) are promising for acceptance of the iH TS in daily life (mean SUS score = 66.4). More research is needed to determine user acceptance and the effects of the therapeutic hand exercises after a longer acquaintance period.
