Cost-Effective Smart Gloves for the Paralyzed Hand Rehabilitation

Stroke is a severe, frequent, and certain as an international health problem worldwide. Stroke is among most frequent cause of mortality and one of the leading causes of disability in adults. Even with all of the amazing progress made in stroke care, the majority of stroke patients will still require PT intervention if proper care is not provided. This study aims to describe a new, improved gadget that helps stroke patients who are unable to move their hands. The proposed prototype is an accessible smart glove designed to help stroke survivors recover by continuously contracting and relaxing their muscles without the need for physiotherapy. In this project Temperature and Heartbeat sensors are interfaced to microcontroller. Vibration motor will be turned ON to activate hand movement for long time when MEMS sensor remains constant.
