Over the past decade, Robot-assisted rehabilitation has played a prominent role 
in improving hand and finger function for stroke survivors. The applications of 
robotics have rapidly expanded from the industrial environment to human assistance
in rehabilitation and functional improvements. Rehabilitation engineering has enhanced
the quality of lives of individuals with disabilities, offering dedicated training
that performs better than conventional methods.

Robot-assisted rehabilitation may be used independently by patients with different
levels of impairment. For example, the Robotic Rehabilitation Gloves: [SIFREHAB-1.1](https://sifsof.com/product/robotic-rehabilitation-gloves-sifrehab-1-1/)
permits collecting a quantifiable measure of subjective performance, repeating treatment
protocols without the need for continuous involvement of therapists saving a significant
amount of human labor that may lead to high cost.

In fact, traditional rehabilitation methods require several sessions of training,
inducing impractical and unaffordable therapies for many patients. Robotic therapy
techniques guarantee a safe, intensive, and task-oriented rehabilitation at relatively
moderate costs. For example, the Portable Rehabilitation Robotic Gloves: [SIFREHAB-1.0 ](https://sifsof.com/product/portable-rehabilitation-robotic-gloves-sifrehab-1-0/)
allows post-stroke patients to receive their treatment from their homes thanks to
its handy size and lightweight.

The Robotic Rehabilitation Gloves: [SIFREHAB-1.1](https://sifsof.com/product/robotic-rehabilitation-gloves-sifrehab-1-1/)
can apply forces with precision, improving accuracy and reducing variance. These
actions are potentially effective to strengthen muscle, [ROM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviations:_R),
and motor coordination. Advanced robots provide also tactile feedback that may correct
the impaired movements. In addition, robot-assisted therapies may be quantified 
easily and collect a number of parameters useful to track the patient’s status (
e.g. spasticity or level of voluntary control)
