Galanto Smart Glove for advanced rehabilitation of hand
Stroke and neurological disorders often take away a patient’s ability to use his or her hands, making the patient rely on caregivers and fight to perform daily activities. Traditional physiotherapy is essential, but it is often ineffective; it lacks compliance, real-time feedback and the rate of progress is slow. Indian med-tech company Galanto Innovations developed the RehabRelive Active Glove (also known as the Galanto Smart Glove) that is a breakthrough solution revolutionizing hand rehabilitation by making it engaging, accurate and much faster.
The Increasing Challenges of Hand Impairment
Every year, over 12 lakh neurological patients suffer from hand disability in India. For stroke victims and people with conditions such as hemiplegia or spinal cord injuries, regaining fine motor control is often both critical and difficult. Typically, traditional therapy includes repetitive, monotonous exercises with little oversight, resulting in low adherence (often <50% of prescribed duration) and minimal actual improvement tracking. Patients and therapists need something smarter, more motivating.
Galanto RehabRelive Smart Active Glove
RehabRelive Active Glove is the first advanced smart glove developed in India for neuro-rehabilitation. This lightweight, breathable, wireless device weighs around 200g and has a whopping 12 high-precision motion sensors (two per finger) that deliver an impressive 0.1° of accuracy. It is suitable for all hand sizes (one-size-fits-all design, can be used on either hand) and has a simple single button interface and up to 5 hours battery life.
The glove turns rehabilitation into an interactive experience and pairs with an intuitive mobile app and virtual-reality based exercises. Patients are put through task-based games that target gross and fine motor skills, cognition, strength, coordination, and reaction time, all while receiving immediate biofeedback on even the slightest joint movements.
How does it work? Precision and engagement
The glove records detailed range-of-motion (ROM) data in the wrist, fingers and forearm in real-time. This data drives adaptive VR games (12+ fun activities with multiplayer support) that automatically adjust difficulty as the patient progresses. Therapists and patients can track progress through detailed reports that show improvement in each joint, total movements, duration of exercises, and quality of motion.
Some of the main advantages:
• The patient can do rehabilitation at home. The doctors can keep an eye on them from far away using special equipment and they can have meetings over the phone or computer
• We use games to make the treatment more fun so the patient does not get bored. They do the exercises every day this way the patients do their exercises, about ninety percent of the time
• The doctors use machines to see how the patient is doing of just looking at them and guessing
• The patient gets to know right away if they are doing something right even if it is a small thing so they feel happy and keep trying
CLINICALLY PROVEN RESULTS: UP TO 2x FASTER RECOVERY
Clinical trials and studies in 25 hospitals and rehab centers have demonstrated impressive results. Patients using the RehabRelive system had twice as fast recovery rates than traditional physiotherapy alone. The results were:
• 220 min of training restored wrist ROM from 11° to 118° in one stroke patient with no hand movement for 2 years
• Another was back to 50% in only 20 days.
• Patients with hand injuries healed 200% faster after 15 sessions.
• Traditional methods had not restored initial wrist and finger movement in stroke patients.
These outcomes demonstrate the glove’s capacity to foster neuroplasticity through high-repetition, high-quality, and highly engaging practice.
Who benefits the most?
The Galanto Smart Glove is perfect for:
• Stroke survivors who have hemiplegia or weakness of the upper limb
• Patients recovering from hand surgery or trauma
• People with spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy or other neurological problems with hand function
• Patients with aged and long-term rehabilitation patients
Patients and therapists both benefit – patients get back on their feet and feel more confident sooner, and clinicians have objective data to help guide treatment planning and remote care.
A More Cost-Effective and Available Solution
The Galanto RehabRelive glove is priced affordably (hardware starting at ₹25,000-₹50,000 depending on configuration) with flexible subscription models for software and home use, unlike imported systems that cost ₹15 lakh or more. This brings advanced neuro-rehabilitation within reach of a much larger population in India and elsewhere.
The Future of Hand Rehab Begins Today
The Galanto Smart Glove is a game-changer, combining the latest in sensor technology, gamified therapy, and data-driven insights in a compact, user-friendly device. It makes rehabilitation more precise, motivating and measurable and offers a real hope for faster functional recovery and better quality of life for neuro and stroke patients.
For patients, caregivers, and rehabilitation professionals looking for a quicker and smarter hand recovery, the Galanto RehabRelive Active Glove is more than just a device — it’s a real boon that is already changing lives.
Galanto Innovations is furthering its leadership in affordable, technology-driven neuro-rehabilitation with the addition of advanced modules for shoulder-elbow training and fine-motor precision exercises to its platform.
