Abstract

We propose a finger orthosis, a finger exoskeleton, and a method for manufacturing the finger orthosis, which are improved in terms of manufacturing effort (cost), / or individualization for different patients, / or interaction with patients, and / or automation of manufacturing. [Solution] A finger orthosis 5 for a finger exoskeleton 2 having an operating link 13, a second phalanx housing portion 14, and a third phalanx housing portion 15, wherein the second phalanx housing portion 14 is - The relative first rotation angle between the operating link 13 and the second phalanx housing 14, - The relative second rotation angle between the second phalanx housing portion 14 and the third phalanx housing portion 15 and The third phalanx housing portion 15 is connected via the forced guide portion 20 so as to set a fixed dependency, and the second phalanx housing portion 14 is pivotably connected to the operating link 13 at the first joint portion 18 and is freely pivotable relative to the operating link 13.
