DEVELOPMENT OF SMART GLOVE FOR STROKE REHAB

Abstract

Everyone's lives depend on their fingertips, as is obvious, whether they are used for holding or gripping an object for identification. This recommendation will focus on how the fingertips are used when grabbing or gripping objects that can cause stroke damage. Stroke is the second-leading cause of death in Malaysia, where it claims the lives of about 40,000 individuals each year. When a stroke occurs, the patient may lose their ability to move their face, arm, or leg or become paralysed. One of the many things that might cause a stroke is a blood clot that develops and blocks the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain. Therefore, rehabilitation is required for stroke victims to better their situation, and this product is the sensible one. In order to solve their problems, stroke sufferers need rehabilitation, which is why this product, a smart glove rehab for stroke patients, was created. A force-sensing resistor electrode is used to record the progress, and the findings are displayed on the LCD display. The creation of the smart glove for stroke rehabilitation is a way to assist stroke victims in regaining their use of their hands and fingers by training them with a glove that has force-sensing resistors connected. Patients can see their progress by looking at the LCD display, which shows HIGH, MID, and LOW. This eliminates the need for patients to travel long distances in order to complete their rehabilitation therapy. Since it is portable and has an intuitive design, patients can use it with little to no supervision and carry it wherever they go to perform their rehabilitation exercises.
