Summary
This study tested a soft robotic glove called EsoGLOVE to help stroke patients improve hand movement and strength during inpatient rehab. 61 stroke survivors used the glove for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, for three weeks. The goal was to see if the glove could assist with exercises and daily tasks, boosting motor recovery and neural healing.
