In this paper, a post-spinal cord injured therapeutic device has been developed for hand motor function rehabilitation. Hands are important parts of our body. Major daily activities of life are being performed by using hands. Spinal cord injured patients need rehabilitation courses. There is a need to develop a home-based hands rehabilitation device to support the rehabilitation courses. A robotic glove system was designed to actuate fingers movement with a cable secured to a fabric glove via plastic pipe guides. The wires are attached to the fingertips on the glove on one end and to servomotors on the other end. The servomotors hold the carpal bones of the hand, which reels the cable line to bend the fingers in either flexion or extension. The actuating of wrist movement carried out through servo motor attached with the glove through "L" metal clamps and servo motor firmly tighten over the wrist with the help of Elastic wrist splint. The position and force at which the fingers & wrist spin can be controlled with ARDUINO programming. It is capable of current limiting the servomotors. Various control methods for the glove were implemented, including switch and vocal programs.
