What is a Rehabilitation Robotic Glove?

A rehabilitation robotic glove is an intelligent device designed for the rehabilitation of hand motor function in stroke patients. It is suitable for symptoms such as finger spasms, numbness, and paralysis caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, etc. Developed collaboratively by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Chejing Robotics Technology Co., Ltd., this device uses biomimetic pneumatic artificial muscle technology to drive finger joint movement, forming a closed-loop rehabilitation intervention model of central-peripheral-central.

The main body of the device is made of everyday glove material and features a dual-system design with an active end and a passive end. The active end integrates flexible sensors to collect real-time movement data of the healthy fingers, while the passive end simulates human muscle movement patterns through wire-driven methods. It supports passive training, mirror therapy, and task-oriented training modes, and can be combined with virtual reality games to enhance the fun of rehabilitation. Built-in IoT functionality allows for cloud upload of training data, making it suitable for rehabilitation in various scenarios such as hospitals and homes.

Clinical trials have shown that this device can reduce muscle tone, alleviate joint edema, and promote the repair of brain nerve damage. It is available in S/M/L sizes, weighs 3kg, and conforms to rehabilitation treatment standards.
