Soft Nanomembrane Sensor-Enabled Wearable Multimodal Sensing and Feedback System for Upper-Limb Sensory Impairment Assistance.

ABSTRACT: Sensory rehabilitation in pediatric patients with traumatic spinal cord injury is challenging due to the ongoing development of their nervous systems. However, these sensory problems often result in nonuse of the impaired limb, which disturbs impaired limb rehabilitation and leads to overuse of the contralateral limb and other physical or psychological issues that may persist. Here, we introduce a soft nanomembrane sensor-enabled wearable glove system that wirelessly delivers a haptic sensation from the hand with tactile feedback responses for sensory impairment assistance. The smart glove system uses gold nanomembranes, copper-elastomer composites, and laser-induced graphene for the sensitive detection of pressure, temperature, and strain changes. The nanomaterial sensors are integrated w
