Patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often lose the ability to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) requiring basic hand dexterity. Dr. H.S. Chhabra, Medical Director & Chief Of Spine Services at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre and his team of investigators are in the process of developing a wearable artificial muscle for a tetraplegic hand. This innovative exoskeletal glove simulates muscle movement, enabling the wearer to live a more independent life. Features of this prototype include:
