Abstract

BACKGROUND: The hand motor function is lost and activities in daily life (ADLs) are affected due to some illnesses such as stroke and hemiplegia. As a coping way, we present a wearable rehabilitation glove with the bionic actuator for restoring the hand function and the motor control ability lost by stroke patients.
