What are some examples of soft robotic grippers used in rehabilitation robotics for assisting patients with upper limb impairments or motor deficits, and how do they provide adaptive support, functional assistance, or therapeutic exercise for improving motor control, coordination, and range of motion in rehabilitation therapy?
What are some examples of soft robotic grippers used in rehabilitation robotics for assisting patients with upper limb impairments or motor deficits, and how do they provide adaptive support, functional assistance, or therapeutic exercise for improving motor control, coordination, and range of motion in rehabilitation therapy?
Examples include soft pneumatic actuators, tendon-driven mechanisms, and wearable robotic gloves designed for upper limb assistance in rehabilitation therapy. These grippers apply controlled forces, provide tactile feedback, and guide hand movements to facilitate therapeutic exercises, functional tasks, or activities of daily living for individuals with neurological conditions or musculoskeletal injuries, promoting motor recovery and functional independence.
