Ageing and accidents all around the world are two of the main causes of disabilities. Even
though it is quite expensive, rehabilitation is crucial for enhancing the mobility and quality of life
of individuals with disabilities. For rehabilitation purposes, a variety of techniques are employed,
including medication, homoeopathic remedies, and rehabilitative gadgets. Few hands
rehabilitation gadgets are said to be a successful form of therapy, according to the literature. Due
to developments, especially in the fields of robotics and artificial materials, the use of such
devices without the assistance of medical professionals is expanding significantly. For hand
disability, we have proposed the low-cost mechanical rehabilitation equipment
EXOMECHHAND in this study, along with three distinct kinds of resistive plates. The therapist
determines the type of resistive plate via Manual Muscle Testing.
