Hi Daniel, I am very interested in creating a working version of the Spiderhand.
We have full UG NX CAD and 3D printing facilities and would like to try developing one for our work colleague who had a bike accident three months ago, fractured his spinal cord and now has very restricted movement. He can only move his arms but not his fingers.
I also have another friend whose hands and digits were deformed after they were immersed in boiling water as a child, and now has restricted finger movement.
Both would welcome any mechanism that could restore some finger movement.
Any assistance appreciated, Nigel
