Soft Robotic Assistive Glove

The soft robotic assistive glove is a lightweight, portable, and ergonomic solution that is being designed to aid individuals with impaired hand function in performing essential daily activities by assisting wrist and finger movements. Constructed from soft, flexible materials, the glove enhances patient autonomy by enabling control over a variety of essential grasp patterns. The glove features an intuitive motion intention system driven by physiological signals, ensuring responsive and natural assistance. Tailored for home use, it is particularly beneficial for stroke survivors, including those with high levels of recovery who still experience significant hand function limitations in daily tasks. This soft robotic solution is suitable for a wide range of patient populations across home, clinical, and long-term care settings.
