Non-hand-worn, load-free VR rehabilitation system facilitates hand recovery with deep learning and ionic hydrogel technology
Tsinghua University PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
A groundbreaking non-hand-worn VR hand rehabilitation system has been developed, utilizing ionic hydrogel electrodes and deep learning for electromyography (EMG) gesture recognition. The system offers load-free rehabilitation without bulky mechanical components, providing a more accessible and flexible alternative to traditional rehabilitation methods. This VR-based solution enables immersive training and precise hand rehabilitation for stroke and joint disease patients in the comfort of their homes, without the constraints of time or location.
