Cynteract Smart Gloves

Cynteract Smart Gloves

The Cynteract Smart Glove is a wired sensory glove designed primarily for rehabilitation of the hand, fingers, and partially the upper limb. Integrated sensors record finger, hand, and arm movements, and a dedicated app transforms therapeutic exercises into motion-controlled games. The system provides biofeedback, calibrates to the user's current range of motion, and records training statistics.

This is not a typical haptic glove for virtual reality or an exoskeleton that moves fingers. The device measures the user's active movements but does not mechanically support them and does not generate resistance or force feedback.
