Smart Rehabilitation Glove for Muscle Fatigue Recovery

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Hand motor impairments from conditions such as ALS, stroke, spinal cord injury, or muscle fatigue limit a patient's ability to perform daily tasks. Traditional therapy is expensive, time- consuming, and difficult to maintain without clinical supervision. A low-cost, lightweight, and safe device is needed to assist hand movement and support effective home-based rehabilitation. The smart rehabilitation glove successfully demonstrates that soft pneumatic actuation can safely and effectively support assisted hand movement. Testing confirmed compliance with key requirements for safety, responsiveness, temperature control, weight, and overall performance. The prototype provides a functional and reliable foundation for home-based rehabilitation. The next stage is preparing the device for market readiness.
