SOPHIA System Built to Rehab the Hands after a Stroke
From: Rehab Management - 11/13/2017

The Soft Orthotic Physiotherapy Hand Interactive Aid (SOPHIA), a brain
machine controlled soft robotic system. was built to provide rehabilitation
aid.

The SOPHIA system consists of a soft robotic exoskeleton with a set of
pneunets actuators providing the force for the fingers of a hand to be fully
extended, and an electropneumatic control system containing the required
diaphragm pumps, valves and sensors in a compact modular unit.

It also includes a Brain Machine Interface, engineered to enable motor
imagery techniques, where the electroencephalogram signal from the subject
could be used as a trigger for the extension motion of the hand, augmenting
the active rehabilitation.
