Control systems for robotic gloves

A robotic glove designed to help stroke patients regain movement of their hands has been developed as part of a collaborative project in Romania. The robotic glove has been designed to facilitate repetitive movement and exercise of the hand of patients within the chronic stage of illness and after they have been released from hospital. A method for the analysis of flexion-extension movement of both human and anthropomorphic robotic finger is presented. Two types of control systems developed for robotic gloves and two implemented methods of recuperative actions are presented, too.
