Soft Robotics for Post-Stroke Hand Rehabilitation: A Systematic Critical Review of Artificial Muscles and Finger Actuators

2026-08-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term upper limb disability worldwide, with approximately 60% of survivors experiencing persistent hand impairment that severely compromises quality of life. Soft robotic technologies have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional rigid rehabilitation devices, offering enhanced safety, adaptability, and patient comfort. However, the rapid pr...
