Motor-Actuated Soft Assistive Robotic Glove with Mobile Application Control for Individuals with Hand Function Impairments

About the study

This study aims to design and develop a wearable assistive glove to support hand function and independence for people with cerebral palsy. An online survey and/or an optional interview will gather insights into hand function challenges and design preferences. The findings will guide the development of the glove, which will later be evaluated through functional testing and user feedback.

Who can participate?

  • Adults (18+) with cerebral palsy
  • Clinicians with experience working with individuals with cerebral palsy (e.g., occupational therapists, physiotherapists)

What is involved?

A 10 to 15-minute online survey or a 45 to 60-minute interview to share your experiences with hand function challenges and preferences for assistive glove design.

After the online survey and interview, you will be invited to take part in testing the device. This is entirely voluntary and only those who agree to the invitation will be contacted about the device testing.
