Rehabilitation robotics has become increasingly interested for the research community and addresses the study of different robotic systems having as the main goal to restore the human functions for those people that suffers a stroke or a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). In this case, the motor control is affected and also the patient's independent living. Many researchers studied different ways to recover functional motor skills and they demonstrated that repetitive training may be necessary to modify neural organization and to help patients in restoring a part of their functions. In this context, the chapter presents the design of an intelligent haptic robotic glove prototype for the rehabilitation of the patients that have suffered a CVA. The control system for a rehabilitation hand exoskeleton is presented and different approaches are discussed. The performance of the control system is demonstrated not only by the simulation, but also by a set of patients from the Rehabilitation Hospital of Iasi (Romania). The main goal of the proposed system is to help the patient to make a lot of rehabilitation exercises by themselves, at home.
