Abstract

Stroke is a disease that is often encountered, generally at age 65 years above. Riskesdas data from 2013 shows a tendency of increasing prevalence of stroke every year in Indonesia. This results in an increasing number of stroke survivors who suffers a post-stroke problems in their limbs. Rehabilitation process can help the patient's body to get their muscle function back. However, in hand muscle rehabilitation, sometimes the patient has different levels of recovery and requires regular therapy. Using exoskeleton in rehabilitation can be used as an alternative patient to perform therapy independently and regularly without having to rely on the therapist. Mechanism analysis of exoskeleton and drive system (actuator) must be completed to develop an exoskeleton in accordance with standard and medical regulations. In addition, since the majority of stroke survivors are elderly, it is also necessary to designing the exoskeleton according to the preferences and requirements of the elderly patients in order to be used by them optimally. The need for design and ergonomics studies is an important part of the elderly being able to use the exoskeleton regularly every day. With the design of exoskeleton that meets the criteria of light, adjustable and powered through the analysis of mechanism, actuator, weight and ergonomically shape, the need for rehabilitation process above can be overcome.
