ReVive Grip: Charting a Path for Affordable Post-Stroke Hand Rehabilitation

This paper presents a cost-effective glove designed for post-stroke hand rehabilitation. The implemented system utilizes servo motors as actuators, collaborating with a spooling mechanism to delicately manipulate cords and replicate intricate gripping motions. The practical application of flex sensors is explored. The average response time of the prototype provides valuable insight into the efficiency of operation, resulting in a fast response time of 1.78 seconds. A demonstration of cost efficiency is found in the resulting prototype, realizable at approximately USD 100. At the end, an analysis based on 7th order polynomial regression model has also been included in order to improve the results further. This shows a significant reduction of average error.
