Technical Progress and Clinical Application of Smart Rehabilitation Glove in the Reconstruction of Hand Neurological and Motor Functions after Stroke

Yuting Lin, Haohan Wang, Xuanrui Song, Hao Zeng, Feng Wang

Abstract

Stroke-induced hand dysfunction significantly impacts patients' quality of life, highlighting the need for innovative rehabilitation
approaches. Smart rehabilitation gloves, integrating robotics, braincomputer interfaces (BCI), and virtual reality (VR), have emerged as
promising tools to enhance motor recovery through assisted movement, real-time feedback, and engaging training paradigms. This review
summarizes recent technological advancesincluding pneumatic, tendon-driven, and electrical stimulation designsand clinical evidence
supporting their efficacy. Studies demonstrate significant improvements in Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores and hand function tests, particularly
with high-intensity and chronic-phase application. Challenges remain in usability, cost, and adaptive control, yet future directions involving
personalized telerehabilitation and multi-modal sensing hold great potential for widespread clinical implementation.
