Abstract
Control system (200) for a strengthening glove (100) with fingers (101-105), comprising a force detecting sensor means (210) for detecting, at different measurement locations (211-218) on the palm side (106) of said glove fingers, a respective force between a finger (11-15) and a contact surface, further arranged to impart a force to respective glove fingers, bending them towards a gripping position, further arranged to read measurement values from the strengthening feedback loop based upon the measurement values. The invention is characterised in that a predetermined pattern is detected, comprising certain measurement values, in that, when the said pattern is not detected and the actuating means are controlled according to a first program, and further when the said pattern is detected, they are controlled according to a second program, which first and second programs are different.
