Abstract:

Developing patients’ ability to recognize hand gestures is one of the benefits of deep learning generation. Intending to develop a stroke rehabilitation device that is low-cost, non-invasive, and environmentally friendly, this study intends to provide stroke patients with a mechanism that allows them to operate assistive devices via hand gestures. When bringing hand motions to life, superior photographs and preprocessing have been crucial in teaching a deep MediaPipe and OpenCV architecture. With the ability to enable patients to use assistive devices by applying hand gestures, the recommended machine shows promise as a valuable instrument for stroke rehabilitation. This is because the utilization of the recommended machine results in caution. Additional motions might be made to materialize on the device, which would assist stroke patients experiencing various limits. The fact that this is the case demonstrates how much knowledge of the past can improve the accuracy and efficiency of hand gesture popularity systems for stroke victims.
