Therefore, these orthoses can only partially replicate the complex, multi-axis movement of the hand. A possible solution for this is the use of prestressed compliant structures as the basis for orthoses. Determining the joint forces in the wrist and optimizing the dynamic orthosis to influence these forces as well as acting muscle forces are important steps in the development of these orthoses. For this reason, in this work multi-body simulation models of an orthosis with human hand models are presented. Based on these theoretical investigations, more detailed orthosis models as well as initial prototypes of prestressed compliant dynamic hand orthoses can be developed.

This paper presents foundational investigations into a new class of auxetic tensegrity metamaterials. This work demonstrates that the auxetic behavior of a tensegrity grid can be realized and tuned solely through the mechanical properties of tensioned members, without altering the equilibrium geometry, offering a key advantage over conventional auxetic structures with fixed topologies. To validate the concept, 3D-printed demonstrators are manufactured, tested and a possible application as a cylindrically shaped soft robotic skin is shown.

Consequently, these orthoses can only partially replicate the complex, multi-axis range of motion of the hand. To overcome this limitation, one approach is to use prestressed compliant structures as the basis for orthoses. In order to be able to map the dynamic influences on the orthosis as well as to simulate everyday use, this article provides an overview of this orthosis concept and the most important aspects in the development of such an orthosis including the results of the modal analysis. Based on these theoretical investigations, the presented methodological approach can be used to develop initial prototypes of tensegrity-based hand orthoses.
