This study aims to present the development of a wearable prototype device consisting of soft robotic gloves (SRGs), its integration into a wearable robotics platform for sensorimotor rehabilitation, and the device’s validation experiments with individuals suffering from impaired hand motor function due to neurological lesions. The SRG is tested and evaluated by users with spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke. The proposed system combines multiple-sensor arrays with pneumatic actuation to assist finger movement during grasping tasks. Evaluations on SCI and stroke patients revealed that the gloves consistently improved finger and grip performance. Detailed analyses indicated observable differences in sensor-derived features during actuation versus non-actuation, with statistically significant modifications appearing in both time-domain and frequency-domain metrics. Although the stroke participants exhibited greater variability, all participants were able to use the system reporting low discomfort and effort. The findings underscore the potential for personalized calibration to further optimize therapeutic outcomes. In summary, the study validates the utility of these gloves as assistive and rehabilitative modalities, and future research will focus on refining the device in the context of multimodal wearable robotics and individualized neurorehabilitation strategies.
