Abstract
The paper presents the research work done for development of a lightweight and low-cost robotic glove that post-stroke patients can use to recover hand functionality. The work focused on two directions for the robotic glove structure (exoskeleton and wearable soft robotic glove) and on two types of recuperative actions (tele-operation and program based actions). Given the performance tests ran for the robotic gloves, better results were shown with the wearable soft robotic glove that could also be combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation in order to improve the post-stroke hand rehabilitation.
