Summary

This pilot study tests whether using a robotic glove for 20 minutes a day, five days a week, can improve grip strength, fine motor control, and quality of life in people with ALS. Five participants with a caregiver will use the glove at home for 8 weeks, with in-person and telehealth check-ins. The goal is to see if this assistive device can make daily tasks easier and boost well-being.
