Journal: Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association

PMID: 33895427

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Soft robotic hands are proposed for stroke rehabilitation in terms of their high compliance and low inherent stiffness. We investigated the clinical efficacy of a soft robotic hand that could actively flex and extend the fingers in chronic stroke subjects with different levels of spasticity.
