Hand Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation of Post Stroke Patients

Abstract

After decades of advancement in rehabilitation technologies, it has become a necessity to modernize the rehabilitation practices. Keeping in view the dire need of restoration motor activities of a post-stroke patients and ease of access, new gadget is developed. The focal point of restoration is focused on the human hand, mostly for recapturing motor functions by the guide of mechanical technology. A farreaching measurable investigation will be introduced in the field of rehabilitation, clinical advanced mechanics and advances utilized for automated exoskeletons dependent on existing distributed papers. A short audit on existing models is additionally introduced. So, after completing the research about existing hand exoskeletons for rehabilitation purposes, We created a new model and fabricated its hardware. Then through cloud storage the database of patient was received and using the android app the patient was able to perform various exercises on his/her hand. All the performed and to be performed exercises will be shown on android application “Rehab” and could be analyzed by the physiotherapist
