Partial paralysis of the upper limbs is common after stroke, with therapeutic intervention crucial in improving the recovery of elbow, wrist/hand and finger function. With the support of Institute of Textiles and Clothing, Industrial Centre and other collaborative organizations, Dr Hu Xiaoling at PolyU’s Interdisciplinary Division of Biomedical Engineering thus designed a wearable functional electrical stimulation robotic hybrid system called Rehabilitation Sleeve (Rehab Sleeve) as a multi-joint upper-limb remedy for post-stroke patients.
