Medal-winning table tennis player Lee Ming Yip has a secret weapon he uses to prepare for matches: the Hand of Hope. Developed by Rehab-Robotics, with funding provided by the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Fund, the Hand of Hope helps stroke patients like Lee regain their strength.

The Hand of Hope detects and processes the patient’s own muscle signals. The mechanical hand brace assists the patients to perform desired movements like hand opening and closing. Repetitive training exercises the brain and promotes neuroplasticity.

The Hand of Hope is helping stroke patients take control of their rehabilitation. Thanks to Hong Kong’s commitment to innovation and technology, imagine how their lives will change.
