A Piston Finger Device for Restoring the Motor Function of Chronic Plegic Fingers: Analysis of the Piston Finger Technique

A piston finger technique (PFT) was developed for restoring the motor function of chronic plegic fingers, with good treatment outcomes, including reduced spasticity and improved muscle shortening. Before developing a piston finger device (PFD) simulating the PFT, we analyzed the PFT by using a motio...

Before developing a piston finger device (PFD) simulating the PFT, we analyzed the PFT by using a motion capture system. The motion of a chronic plegic index finger was investigated after administering two types of PFT-based treatment. The ranges of motion of the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints of the index finger, and the vibration width and frequency during treatment were measured.
