| Title | Innovative Hand Rehabilitation Glove | ||
| Supervisor | R. Selmic | ||
| Description | This project aims to develop a Hand Rehabilitation Glove aimed for helping
individuals recovering from hand injuries or conditions affecting finger mobility. This wearable
device will incorporate sensors integrated with a companion mobile app. The glove primary
objective is to guide users through personalized finger and hand exercises, monitor progress to
ultimately help them regain strength and flexibility in their hands. Advanced
sensor technology will be integrated to track various aspects of rehabilitation, such as hand movement,
temperature, blood circulation giving us a complete view of the recovery process. The key
players in this project are the motors, including linear actuators and servo motors, which will
assist patients in regaining their range of motion, building strength, and doing beneficial
exercises. The project aims to offer an affordable and convenient alternative to traditional
physiotherapy, particularly beneficial for those facing financial limitations.
A fully functional hardware prototype of the rehabilitation glove will be delivered. Additionally, a user-friendly mobile app will be developed to communicate with the glove facilitating exercise guidance and progress tracking. Customizable exercise modules and personalized progress tracking will be implemented into the app. Clear documentation, including assembly instructions as well as usability guidelines will be provided to ensure easy understanding. |
