A hand rehabilitation glove fabricated using soft robotic technology. Soft actuators comprised of elastomeric materials with integrated channels that function as pneumatic networks (PneuNets), are designed and geometrically analyzed to produce bending motions that can safely conform with the human finger motion.
Loss of the ability to move the fingers, whether partial or total, can greatly inhibit activities of daily living and can considerably reduce one's quality of life [1]. Physical therapy device of our hand rehabilitation robotic soft glove can be effective in regaining controlled hand movement for a variety of disabling conditions, such as physical injuries, diseases, overuse syndromes and neurological damages.
Often rehabilitation for improving hand function requires the patient to perform repetitive task practice (RTP), which involves breaking a task down into individual movements and practicing these exercises to improve hand strength, accuracy, and range of motion [1], [2]. These methods, however, are labor intensive and costly due to the required long hours of training with a physical therapist [1]. A system where patients could carry out exercises on their own, either at home or in clinic, would make physical therapy more accessible and therefore would be beneficial for patients.
Very convenient for patient do training exercise
