Abstract:
Every year thousands of people get stroke attacks. In which some lose the ability to move their muscles. Some of those stroke survivors lose the ability to move their fingers completely or partially. We present a delicate mechanical glove that expands hand recovery for stroke patients with grasped clenched hand distortion to track down an answer for this issue. Through its installed inflatable actuators, which are made by heat-holding adaptable plastic cylinders, the automated glove gives dynamic finger augmentation to hand recovery preparation. When the fingers are pressurized, the actuators expand and stiffen. The actuators were integrated into the finger pockets of the glove. In this work, the device’s augmentation force was evaluated.
