Finger Rehabilitation Glove.

I really like the matching movements from the good hand to the paretic hand. When will the US get this? For those of us that need to create hard neuroplasticity of finger control because of dead area this would be wonderful. Fom Nov 2007, So where is it at and has anybody used this in therapy?

The ‘Upper Limb Rehabilitation Suit’ and now the ‘Finger Rehabilitation Glove’ adds one more good contribution to rehabilitation from Activelink Co. Ltd., one of Panasonic’s venture companies. The glove imitates the movement of healthy hand and enables movement in the effected hand through artificial muscles. It gives an indication of next movement via lighting up the tips of the fingers in order to avoid any surprise movement for which you were not mentally prepared. Isn’t it a great idea?


Although this great effort is not on sale currently, but soon it will be there to increase the number of activities a person suffering with lower function of the limb due to paralyses, accident or any other disorder in a less cumbersome way.
