Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of auxiliary exercise machinery, and particularly relates to an auxiliary exercise rehabilitation mechanical glove. Background Art

[0002] Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease. Even after medical treatment, about 70% of patients still face varying degrees of motor dysfunction, especially severe muscle weakness in the upper limbs and hands. Currently, the rehabilitation treatment for patients with upper limb motor dysfunction mainly relies on therapists for massage and upper limb rehabilitation exercise equipment. The former method, although comprehensive in treatment, consumes medical human resource costs and has a relatively high recovery cost; the latter method is simple and efficient but mainly focuses on the rehabilitation of the arm and still has great deficiencies in finger rehabilitation.
