Abstract
The main feature of the cerebrovascular condition known as stroke is blood vessel
obstruction. The third most common cause of disability worldwide is stroke. Lowering one’s
quality of life and adding to the burden that stroke survivors bear is upper limb motor
dysfunction. Recovery of arm and hand function is a primary objective of rehabilitation programs
since it is crucial to achieving independence in daily life. The goal of neurological treatment plans
adopting inflatable pressure sleeves is to decrease spasticity and to enable normal movement
and sensory input on the hemiplegic part. By attaching these inflatable splints to an intermittent
pressure pump, the goal was to further increase sensory input.
