This study is a presentation of state of the art in the field exoskeletons of hand fingers. Exoskeletons of hand fingers have been characterized on the basis of an analysis of currently existing structural solutions. The goal of this research is to present a new concept of the device being a modification of Shield’s exoskeleton. Despite a large demand for hand exoskeletons the currently available solutions often fail to meet requirements of doctors and patients. Due to many freedom degrees characteristic of a human hand a compromise is necessary between simplicity of the device and the possibility of performing basis grasps.
