Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
A soft robotic glove for hand functionality augmentation for tetraplegic patient. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>Initial functionality, based on what the control system would be developed is a grasping movement. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>In short, a wearable gloves, which will act as an external muscle, and help the patient fold his hand to grasp.Timepoint: o, 3 and 6 months assessment will be done using neurlogical scales.

Secondary Outcome Measures
