Description
Summary:An externally actuated glove, controlled by a microprocessor, is being developed to assist fi nger extension in stroke survivors. The goal of this device is to allow repeated practice of specifi c tasks for hand therapy in the home environment. The device allows the user three control modes: voice recognition, electromyography or manual. These modes can be used either independently or combined according to the needs of the user. Both position and force feedback are available for control and safety. Initial testing of the prototype has shown promising performance.
