The objetive of this research is the development of wearable equipments to be used in the rehabilitation of people who suffer with somatosensory losses.The equipment substitutes the tactile response by a visual response using sensors that transduce the pressure applied on them into eletric signals. The main project consist on gloves with sensors in the fingertips; two prototypes were developed: one used for generic hand exercises and the other especifically for the pincer grasp movement rehabilitation process.
