Why Orekhov
Project Orekhov was tasked with developing an assistive orthotic device for the upper limb utilizing direct input from its intended wearer, PT. Direct input and end-point verification from the primary user makes this project unique in a field comprised of devices that are not verified to provide clinical benefit to their intended users, are not designed to address specific needs of end-users, or both. Furthermore, devices that do verify clinical benefit are often research devices that are not intended for use outside of laboratory settings. The goal of this project is to develop a highly wearable hand-assistive device with verified clinical benefit and potential for continued development in and outside of the lab.
