Robotic Rehabilitation Glove for Stroke Patients

 A. Introduction (What it is & who it’s for)

Designed for stroke survivors and individuals recovering from hand nerve injuries, this robotic rehab glove helps restore motor function, grip strength, and finger flexibility through daily assisted motion therapy.

 B. Key Features

• Intelligent robotic assistance for flexion/extension

• Lightweight and breathable material

• Adjustable for various hand sizes (left/right options)

• Powered via rechargeable battery

• Modes: Passive training, mirror therapy, and active assistance

C. Clinical Benefits (with Evidence if possible)

Studies show that robotic-assisted therapy significantly improves hand motor function after stroke when used consistently over 6–8 weeks (Zhang et al., 2021, J Rehabil Med). This glove leverages AI-guided motion to mimic therapist-driven rehabilitation.

D. Who Can Use It

• Stroke survivors (acute and chronic stages)

• Patients with hemiplegia or hemiparesis

• Post-surgical hand rehab

• Elderly users with impaired grip strength
