Neurotrauma can pose a challenge to individuals that have had a stroke because it can result in decreased coordination and strength in one or both upper limbs. Now, FAU’s Erik Engeberg has developed a wearable robotic glove that uses artificial intelligence to give patients improved dexterity.
“Our design is significantly simpler than most designs as all the actuators and sensors are combined into a single molding process,” said Engeberg. “Importantly, although this study’s application was for playing a song, the approach could be applied to myriad tasks of daily life and the device could facilitate intricate rehabilitation programs customized for each patient.”
