Wearable hand rehabilitation system for post-stroke patients

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, significantly affecting hand mobility and strength among survivors. Traditional rehabilitation methods are often inaccessible due to high costs, limited availability, and patient engagement challenges. Therefore, this research introduces a wearable hand rehabilitation system designed to address the specific needs of stroke survivors, offering an affordable, efficient, and portable alternative to conventional therapy. The system leverages modern technology to enhance hand mobility, allowing patients to independently perform rehabilitation exercises while enabling doctors to remotely access and monitor exercise data for personalized feedback. By comparing the system's effectiveness against standard rehabilitation techniques, this study highlights its superior potential for improving recovery outcomes in stroke patients. positioning it as a promising tool for facilitating comprehensive and efficient stroke recovery.
