This completed trial examined whether robotic gloves assisted task-oriented mirror therapy could help stroke patients recover better hand function and movement. Participants received either robotic gloves combined with mirror therapy or mirror therapy alone, along with standard rehabilitation. The study aimed to understand whether the robotic glove technology could make rehabilitation more engaging and effective for hand recovery.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain full use of their hands and fingers. While mirror therapy has shown promise for hand recovery, researchers wanted to see if adding robotic gloves—which can make therapy more interactive and help patients track their progress—could lead to even better results and help people stay motivated during rehabilitation.
Participants sat at a table with their hands placed in front of them and wore either a robotic glove on their affected hand or used a mirror placed between their hands. They then performed simple hand exercises like grasping and releasing a ball, moving objects, and practicing synchronized hand movements while watching the robotic glove or mirror reflection. Sessions took place alongside their regular stroke rehabilitation therapy over the study period.
