This paper explores the development and application of soft robotic systems for bilateral hand and wrist rehabilitation. Traditional rehabilitation approaches for hand and wrist impairments often lack the ability to provide personalized and adaptable therapy, leading to suboptimal outcomes for patients. Soft robotics, characterized by compliant and flexible structures, offer unique advantages for rehabilitation by mimicking the natural movements of the human body and enabling safe and comfortable interaction with patients. This review examines recent advancements in soft robotic technology for bilateral hand and wrist rehabilitation, including device design, control strategies and clinical applications. By synthesizing current literature and clinical evidence, this paper aims to provide insights into the potential of soft robotic systems to enhance therapy outcomes, promote neuroplasticity and improve functional recovery in individuals with hand and wrist impairments.
