Abstract :
This paper presents the implementation process of an electronic wireless system. It allows making exercises for hand rehabilitation. The patient can control movements of a mobile robot; it has to use movements of its hand and the electronic glove. The robot is controlled by an accelerometer that is located in the glove; an electronic prototyping platform obtains motion signals from the sensor and processes it.
