(a.) Study structure. (b.) VTS Phalanx version V1. 1. A design resembling fingerless gloves with the palm exposed. 2. Rigid arches create a place for each finger without inserting each finger individually. 3. The two straps are capable of wrapping over flexed fingers without requiring finger extension. (c.) VTS Phalanx version V4. 1. The single strap over the fingers can be donned with the anterior arm facing away (no supination). 2. A T-strap design reduces fabric coverage while providing a path for wires to run between circuitry at the wrist and actuators at the fingers. 3. A buckle closure enables strap adjustment using one hand.
