Abstract
Stroke in Indonesia was the second leading cause of death and third cause of disability in the world. In Indonesia, the proportion of disability adjusted life-years (DALYs) contribution from stroke is around 9.7% and is the number one cause of disability. People with disabilities will have difficulty doing daily activities, especially communication. Therefore it is necessary to develop communication aids that can help stroke sufferers communicate daily by utilizing palm movements. In this study, two flex sensors were placed on the fingers. Communication aids for stroke sufferers function to detect four basic movements, namely: "I want to eat", "I want to drink", "I want to urinate/poop",and “rest”. The four sentences are also displayed on a display and also on the Smartphone. The detection of these four movements is obtained by bending the two fingers which are detected using a flex sensor placed on a glove. This tool is expected to be the development of communication aids for stroke sufferers.
