Hand of Hope as one of the pioneers in Hong Kong science and technology industry

2013-11-28

"Hand of Hope can sense the muscle signal of stroke patient to control the movement of robotic hand and in consequence driving the motion of patient's hand. Clinical research showed that it could help to recover 50% of patient's movement. Hand of Hope was awarded the Grand Prix award in the International Invention Exhibition last year." by Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Mr. John Tsang Chun-wah, GBM, JP

「理大研發的「希望之手」，能感應中風病人手臂肌肉接收的訊號，控制機械關節帶動病人手掌開合，經臨床實驗，證實可以令病人恢復達五成的手掌活動能力。「希望之手」去年奪得日內瓦國際發明展全場最高榮譽的格蘭披治發明獎。理大也研發出另一項三維超聲脊柱側彎嶄新評估技術，由於沒有X光輻射的風險，可以頻密使用，密切監察變化。」
