Abstract
Enhancing an exoskeleton of a finger with one degree of freedom reported in a previous paper of the authors, this work proposes two new modular exoskeletons for motor rehabilitation of the four long fingers, still with one degree of freedom and customizable on the patient hand size. Both exoskeletons can assist the flexion and the extension of the fingers.
