  <abstract>Stroke survivors often experience long-term upper extremity impairment. This can greatly impair activities of daily living. The eXtension Glove (X-Glove) is a soft robotic device to aid hand therapy. It uses cables serving as external extensor tendons to assist digit extension and control digit flexion. Load cells are located on each motor to detect the force value of fingers. This paper provides a way to add a biofeedback function on the X-Glove and update the microprocessor to a PIC32MX795. So the X-Glove can establish a wireless communication transmit data with terminals, like PC. In order to display the biofeedback, a graphic user-interface is also developed so that therapists can optimize the therapy for each individual patient in real time.</abstract>
