Most of them require an assistive device which able to help them to do daily activities such as grabbing which also encourage them to be independent. Reported that this assistive device useful to promote independency but it is not provided by PRC. Moreover, existing product in the market is not affordable since it is costly to manufacture and only available at the abroad market. Besides that, most of the existing product concept is not mobile and difficult for patients to wear. In addition, the product is quite heavy which resulted to difficulty to use by patients. This project aims to develop an assistive device which able to help patients to hold or grab an object. Other than mobile and detachable, it is more affordable and ergonomic which satisfy the requirements needed. This product undergo anthropometry, survey and design requirements and will be tested and validate by the therapists and patients themselves. The results of the design and analysis of the product achieve all of objectives to help the end user to assist the movement of patient fingers who suffer flexor tendon injuries in their daily activities and therapy session. Hence, the design of this product plays important roles which help the patient to do exercise to regain their muscles.
