Post-stroke assistive rehabilitation robotic gloves

Abstract

This paper presents the research activities and results which have been obtained to develop robotic gloves and its control system to be used for post-stroke hand rehabilitation. The practical results for robotic gloves development are shown from a mechanical, sensorial and control point of view. This work is focused on developing a lightweight and low-cost robotic glove used by patients in order to regain their hand movements. Robotic glove tele-operation was implemented with a tele-operation glove, having attached blending sensors, or a mobile device (phone) with Android.
