Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The soft robotic system could provide objective and quantifiable measures of subject performance. By combining voluntary motor intention and the robotic hand technology, the system will facilitate the recovery process of stroke patients.
