Description

This paper presents a wearable, open-source system that combines electromyography (EMG) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to restore hand function in individuals with disabilities caused by cervical spinal cord injuries or stroke. The device captures electrical signals produced during volitional muscle contractions and analyzes them to interpret the user’s intent to move. This information is then used to stimulate impaired muscles, promoting improved hand function and rehabilitation. The system serves as both an orthotic device for enhancing grasping ability and a therapeutic tool for rehabilitating hemiparetic hands, with potential for broader applications.
