IISc develops customisable 3D printed gloves for rehabilitating stroke patients

I like this since it is not a glove which spastic fingers could never get on.

What is your doctor's EXACT STROKE REHAB PROTOCOL FOR 100% RECOVERY OF YOUR HAND. No protocol, fire them and get the board of directors fired also for not setting correct goals for the stroke department.

The device is sensitive enough to react to the touch of a butterfly. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a soft, wearable 3D printed device that harnesses the properties of light to sense a physiotherapy patient's limb or finger movements. The customisable gloves can be remotely controlled, allowing for the possibility of teleconsultation with physiotherapists. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in India, and physiotherapy is one of the few treatment options available for stroke victims and those with physical disabilities. Depending on the severity of the disability, physiotherapy can take weeks or months, which is a challenge for the patients as well as their caregivers.

The product should be easy to use and must provide feedback. The idea behind the device is that you wear something like a glove, the physiotherapist controls the device from a remote location through the internet, and makes your hands and fingers move." The amount of pressure applied on a ball, or the degree to which a leg with a knee injury can be bent by the patient, is crucial for doctors to monitor patients, which can be done remotely with the device. The device can be used to sense various hand and finger movements, and precisely measure parameters such as pressure, bending angle and shape. The feedback can also be used to motivate the patients to perform better in consecutive sessions. The device allows the patients to enjoy the benefits of physiotherapists without a visit to a hospital.

One side of the transparent, rubbery material has a light source, with a detector on the other side. The deformation of the flexible material is tracked through the alteration of the path of the light, and its properties. The light travels through the entire device, allowing movement along any point in the patient's arm or fingers to be measured. The device is sensitive enough to respond to the touch of a butterfly. The device is superior to conventional devices that can only detect the bending of the finger, but not the degree of bending at every joint.

The device can also capture and store data, as well as transmit it over the internet. After testing for stability over a period of 10 months, researchers found no loss in sensitivity or accuracy. The device can be manufactured entirely in India, at a cost of less than Rs 1,000. A patent application has been filed and the researchers intend to bring the device to the market soon. The underlying approach has potential applications in AR devices and medical devices for monitoring health parameters.
