Strokes often lead to hemiparesis of the hand. This renders individuals unable to actively flex or extend the affected hand's fingers. Currently the only option for improvement is therapy to improve the neuromuscular connection and maintain ROM (Range of Motion). Conventional therapy is costly and time consuming. It involves in person visits and at home exercises. Soft robotics has a significant potential in rehabilitative and assistive exoskeletons. The flexible materials deliver a gentle, accessible therapy, minimizing possible injury and increasing
