| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A soft robotic glove for hand functionality augmentation for tetraplegic patient. Initial functionality, based on what the control system would be developed is a grasping movement. In short, a wearable gloves, which will act as an external muscle, and help the patient fold his hand to grasp.Timepoint: The assessment will be done at 0,3 and 6 months period after the gloves are made. THe neurology and outcome measures will be compared. | — |
