Our Assistive Robotic Glove category includes any bionic device that assists people with a hand impairment despite having their natural hand intact. This impairment may be the result of stroke, partial paralysis, arthritis, or any other disease or injury.
The good news is that we are seeing an increasing number of these devices either already on the market or approaching commercialization.
Below, you will find brief descriptions of these devices with links to more detailed articles.
