Device to Augment Strength in the Weak Hand of a Stroke Patient

Project Overview

After stroke some patients regain no movement of the affected body part. The majority of stroke victims however, regain movement with limited strength. Currently there are groups working on robotic devices that sense and augment body movements. This robotic assistance is hypothesized to improve recovery of strength and/or dexterity in patients. The device we are working towards is a glove or mitten design that could sense and augment finger movements in stroke patients.
