Abstract (EN): This work describes an instrumented glove suitable for the rehabilitation of patients that show movement limitations after suffering a stroke. This instrumented glove uses angular position sensors to measure rotation of each joint of each finger and pressure sensors to monitor the pressure applied on each fingertip. Each finger also has a vibration motor and an indicator LED to provide a stimulus during rehabilitation exercises. The glove communicates via Serial Peripheral Interface protocol (SPI) with an HMI module where a graphical application was developed in order to monitor each finger and to implement rehabilitation game-like exercises. Nonetheless, this device has the capability to monitor and record the sensor data during the implemented exercises for further data analysis.
