Development of Physical Therapy for Hand Neuro-Rehabilitation by Mechatronics

Background: One of the basic matters of communication in our daily life is interaction and communication with others. So, Communication is very important in the life of all human beings alike. The problem begins with the hands-on rehabilitation to restore function, improve movement, and alleviate pain and spasms in individuals with hand impairments, as they face many problems in expressing their feelings and communication to others. Objective: The article aims to developed a new designing for Hand rehabilitation to restore function, improve movement, and alleviate pain and spasms in individuals with hand impairments. Materials and Methods: The traditional rehabilitation methods often require specialized equipment and clinic visits. The article has proposed a novel design, with low-cost, and portable wearable rehabilitation glove designed to enhance hand functions. The glove is custom-made for each individual by measuring finger joint angles, with personalized rings printed using 3D printing technology. Servo motors are connected to Kevlar yarn to assist in finger movement, enabling users to perform repetitive rehabilitation exercises. Conclusion: Through the implementation of this work, it is possible to know the extent of the importance of the various sensors and control systems and their relationship to facilitating our lives and solving some complex and different problems. The glove demonstrated the ability to facilitate the flexion and extension movements of the fingers, supporting hand training. Based on the findings, it is clear that while the glove shows promise in its intended function, further refinement of the sensor calibration and the glove’s design is necessary to minimize interference and ensure more reliable data collection.
