Abstract
This project is done in the field of rehabilitation of upper limb paresis on post stroke hemiplegic patients, and it aims at replacing the traditional rehabilitation methods with a more automated approach, currently concerning mainly on the rehabilitation of upper limbs of hands. The device applies linear mechanical vibrations on the tendons of the fingers at a particular frequency so as to result in the patient getting illusionary movements. The frequency of vibrations to generate illusions varies from person to person and so there should be a mechanism by which the user can change the frequency to suit him/her. Besides giving the vibrations, the project also focuses on developing a mechanism so that the patients can physically see the limbs moving in accordance with the vibrations perceived by them. This will speed up the treatment process.
