Инновационную реабилитационную систему «Перчатка» представили в России

Novosibirsk State Technical University NETI, in collaboration with Novosibirsk State Medical University (NSMU), has presented a revolutionary software and rehabilitation complex called "Glove." The project aims to restore patients suffering from the effects of acute cerebrovascular accident, injuries, and various neurological disorders.

The developed complex is a simulator that helps restore mobility and fine motor skills of the hand in people with neurological disorders. The device is made using additive technologies and has the shape of a glove controller. It provides hardware monitoring of the hand's orientation in space and the degree of finger flexion, as well as generates and transmits digital signals.

In addition, the complex includes a set of game programs of varying complexity that create rehabilitation and training tasks based on the principle of visual positive feedback. This allows not only to stimulate patients but also to assess the success of rehabilitation procedures. Work on refining and improving the complex continues with the participation of NSMU specialists.

Alexey Tsygulin, head of the student design bureau "Breakthrough: Extreme Robotics" of NSTU NETI, noted that "Glove" allows restoring movements in a playful form, which is especially important for patients.

The simulator is easy to manufacture and does not require significant costs. It is characterized by flexible settings and can be adapted to various types of rehabilitation programs. Most importantly, the software and rehabilitation complex has already demonstrated its effectiveness during testing at Novosibirsk City Clinical Hospital No. 2.

To work with the simulator, it is enough to connect the device to a computer via a USB cable and install software with a set of training and rehabilitation programs. This makes "Glove" a promising solution for individual remote rehabilitation, allowing patients to recover outside of medical facilities.
