ESP32 Gesture Glove Kit for AROM Physiotherapy Exercises
ESP32 Gesture Glove Kit for AROM Physiotherapy Exercises
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit lets you build a complete servo-actuated rehabilitation glove that guides fingers through active range of motion exercises using gesture recognition, force feedback, and real-time program scheduling. Designed for physiotherapists, biomedical researchers, and makers developing assistive health devices, it merges wearable robotics with embedded intelligence to automate hand therapy routines.
What You'll Build
A four-finger glove with independent servo-driven flexion/extension for each finger, utilizing force-sensitive resistors to measure patient effort, an MPU6050 for inertial gesture input, and an OLED display for exercise program feedback. The glove runs preloaded AROM routines and logs session data to microSD for therapy tracking.
What You'll Learn
- Sensor fusion with MPU6050 and FSR arrays for gesture recognition
- Multi-servo control using PCA9685 driver for independent finger movement
- Real-time physiotherapy session logging with microSD and RTC
- Power management for wearable LiPo battery systems

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for physiotherapy professionals exploring assistive technology, B.Tech Biomedical Engineering students prototyping wearable rehabilitation devices, and makers participating in Smart India Hackathon healthcare challenges. Also ideal for IIT/NIT/VIT researchers developing low-cost active orthotic prototypes.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to launch the AI companion for real-time debugging specific to this glove assembly, or message us on WhatsApp for direct help.
Can this glove be customized for different physiotherapy exercises?
Yes, the open-source firmware allows you to modify AROM routines, add new gesture-triggered programs, and adjust servo ranges to target specific joints or therapy protocols.
Is the glove adjustable for different hand sizes?
The 3D-printed frame and Velcro straps accommodate most adult hands; you can re-slice the included STL files to scale the frame for a custom fit.
How do I load and schedule exercise programs?
Exercise sequences are stored on the microSD card as text profiles; the DS3231 RTC triggers predefined daily sessions, and the OLED shows real-time progress and force feedback data.
Gesture - Servo-actuated four-finger glove with FSR feedback runs AROM physiotherapy exercise programs automatically.
