A spinal cord injury (SCI) can severely affect hand function. It is becoming more common to use passive and active assistive devices to improve lost hand strength and dexterity. In approaching the design of the prototype, a holistic mechatronic viewpoint was embraced in an attempt to effectively and efficiently integrate the mechanical and electronic aspects of the plan. This design philosophy has resulted in a prototype that meets and exceeds the requirements. Robotic Glove assistive devices enable a human-robot interaction facilitated by compact and lightweight structures. This study examined whether a servo motor-based robotic glove can effectively perform Rehabilitation of impaired hands of patients affected by spinal cord injury. This research work was administered to a Patient with C4-C5-C6 spinal cord injuries to assess the functionality of the robotic glove. The test included Rehabilitation of impaired hands and measuring their Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The test was administered to the Patient up to the period of eighteen months in duration; once a day up to six months, twice a day in the next six months, and thrice a day during the last six months while wearing the assistive glove. The impaired hands were rehabilitated, and effects were evaluated, including interaction effects of variables such as frequency & duration of Rehabilitation per day. The soft robotic glove is conducive to the Rehabilitation of impaired hands and observed minimal Capability of performing grasp and release, picking and holding, pressing to object through impaired hands after a long time and more numbers of time rehabilitation by this device in spinal injured Patient. The results gathered in this study are our Servo motor-based robotic glove as an effective device for Patients who have suffered upper limb, i.e., hands paralysis following a spinal cord injury. It helped the Patient in taking Rehabilitation without assistance from the therapist.
