Physiotherapy Rehab Glove Kit
Physiotherapy Rehab Glove Kit – Build a Five-Finger Mirror Hand with Real-Time Motion Tracking
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
For physiotherapists, biomedical engineers, and rehabilitation specialists, this kit delivers a fully functional robotic hand that mirrors the operator’s finger movements in real time. Flex sensors on a control glove capture subtle bends, while five independent servo motors pull tendon lines across 15 joints to reproduce grip patterns used in post‑injury hand therapy. The result is a tool that accelerates research into assistive wearables and customisable rehabilitation sequences.
What You'll Build
You assemble a sensorised glove and a 3D-printed right hand with individually controlled fingers. When you wear the glove and flex any finger, the corresponding robotic finger follows with low latency. Force-sensitive resistors on the fingertips provide grip‑strength feedback, allowing you to set and monitor torque limits. The entire system is programmable via Arduino Mega, so you can design repetitive therapy routines, log patient progress, or integrate EMG sensors later.
What You'll Learn
- Integrate multiple flex sensors and FSRs with real‑time signal conditioning for medical‑grade motion tracking
- Program a PCA9685 driver to synchronise five servo motors controlling 15 tendon lines without crosstalk
- Solder a multi‑board PCB stack and route stable 5V power to avoid jitter in precise physiotherapy movements
- Calibrate sensor thresholds and servo limits to match a patient’s active range of motion for safe rehabilitation

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is built for final‑year B.Tech/M.Tech students in Biomedical or Electronics Engineering, rehabilitation professionals exploring low‑cost assistive devices, and medical device teams in hackathons like Smart India Hackathon. It also supports research at physiotherapy departments in institutes such as AIIMS, IIT Madras, VIT, and BITS Pilani, where customisable rehabilitation tools are essential for patient‑specific therapy studies.
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 open the AI companion, which walks you through calibration, tendon routing, and code debugging. WhatsApp and email support are also standing by.
Can I use this with actual patients for hand rehabilitation?
Yes, once calibrated and enclosed in a cleanable outer shell. The mirror glove can guide passive exercises and log grip data, making it suitable for supervised therapy sessions.
How do I adjust the sensitivity of the flex sensors?
The AI guide provides a calibration routine that measures each sensor's raw range and sets servo limits accordingly. You can fine‑tune thresholds in the Arduino code to match a specific patient's mobility.
Is it possible to add more fingers or modify the hand design?
The 3D‑printed hand geometry and Arduino code are open for modification. You can re‑slice the STL files to add an extra finger or adapt the palm size, and the PCA9685 driver supports up to 16 servos.
Healthcare — 15-tendon five-finger hand driven by 5 servo motors. Flex sensors mirror operator hand in real time.
