Post-stroke hand rehabilitation using a hybrid FES-robotic glove

With 54 posts on gloves and 165 posts on hand and 47 posts on fingers your therapists will know which one is most likely to bring back you hand/finger function. But I highly doubt that, so you are on your own researching rehab tools that will help you recover.

Abstract:

This paper presents the preliminary results of testing a hybrid FES-Robotic Glove specially designed for the rehabilitation process of the upper limb in stroke patients. This system brings as novelty the balanced control between the functional electrical stimulation used for artificially inducing the hand extensors contraction and the robotic glove which coordinates the fingers to perform proper movements. The system has been tested on a healthy person in laboratory and on a stroke patient within clinical environment.
