SINGAPORE (Mar 22): Roceso Technologies designs and manufactures robotic gloves that are used to help stroke or spinal cord injury patients regain function in their hands through neurological and muscle rehabilitation.

Called EsoGlove, the patent-pending device assists patients in conducting various repetitive tasks. The patient wears the glove, made from fabric and embedded with actuators, and moves as directed by simulations on a screen.

The speed and duration of these exercises and the pressure exerted by the robotic glove can be altered, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition.
