E-Glove: An electronic glove with vibro-tactile feedback for wrist rehabilitation of post-stroke patients

摘要

Arm paresis is a very common disability among post-stroke survivors. It is characterized by the inability of a person to perform some specific movements in the arm. A Long term Rehabilitation process plays a key role in the recovery of this kind of disabilities, but such treatment might not be easily accessible to people living away from the cities where most of the rehabilitation centers are located. In this paper, we present our interactive rehabilitation system called “E-Glove” that is aimed to help patients with wrist impairments to perform some daily exercises in a joyful and interactive manner. A 2D golf game that could be played with the glove was developed for this purpose.
