Abstract

This paper provides an overview of a robotic hand rehabilitation system designed to assist patients recovering from hand injuries and neurological conditions such as stroke. The system integrates advanced robotics with therapeutic principles to deliver precise, repetitive exercises that are critical for the recovery of hand function. The rehabilitation system is equipped with sensors and actuators that monitor and guide the patient's hand movements, offering both passive and active modes of assistance. The paper provides an overview of the design, architecture, algorithms, and user interface of the system, highlighting its ability to adapt to the individual needs of patients. This research underscores the potential of robotic technology in revolutionizing hand rehabilitation, offering a scalable and effective solution for patients in clinical and home settings.
