This work is part of the area of Rehabilitation Technology for people with neuromotor disability, caused by Stroke.In this work we propose a Haptic Glove for neurorehabilitation with electrodes located in the fingertips and in the palm of the hand. These electrodes act on certain mechanoreceptors which generate pressure sensation by electrically stimulating and selectively the Pacini corpuscles of the dermis.In this way it is intended that the user has the sensation of grabbing an object when it is performing that activity in Virtual Reality (VR). Therefore to the visual feedback that the user has when interacting in VR is added sensorial feedback with which it is intended to improve Neurorehabilitation and extend the stimuli of neuronal plasticity.
