Abstract :
This paper is based on the results of a research project regarding the design and development of an Intelligent Haptic Robot-Glove (IHRG) for the rehabilitation of the patients that have a diagnosis of a cerebrovascular accident. The IHRG was designed and implemented in our laboratory considering the fact that for any patient it will be more comfortable to make medical exercises in his own home. The proposed IHRG has a great advantage - the possibility to specify some vocal commands, which will help the patient to make a lot of medical exercises.
