Rehabilitative Robotic Glove
ÖffentlichStroke affects 600,000 people annually who are left with weakened limbs and hands. Repetitive hand movement is often used as a rehabilitation technique in order to regain hand movement and strength. In order to facilitate recovery, a robotic glove was designed to aid in the movement and coordination of grip exercises. This glove uses a cable system to open and close a patient’s hand,actuated by servomotors mounted in a 13lbs backpack. The glove can be controlled in terms of finger position and grip force through switch interface, software program, or myoelectric signal. This project developed a working prototype of the rehabilitative robotic glove which actuates the fingers over a full range of motion across one degrees-of-freedom, and is capable of generating a maximum 15N grip force.
