Haptic technology allows user to perceive virtual reality as in real world. However, commercially available haptic devices are expensive and may not be suitable for educational purpose. This paper describes the design and development of a low cost haptic knob, with only one degree of freedom, for use in rehabilitation or training hand pronation and supination. Endeffectors can be changed to suit different applications or variation in hand sizes and hand orientation. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 58, 2011</index> </article>
