Study Completion
Not reported
Date not reportedThe purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of training using novel tablet applications for hand function, compared to traditional hand exercises. In addition, we aim to examine brain plasticity following treatment with the new tablet applications. We hypothesize that training with a tablet would prove to be more effective than traditional exercises. We expect to observe neuroplastic changes in the brain in patients who practiced finger movements using the tablet.

Existing tablet Apps that encourage finger movement in a fun manner while playing a game will be used. The apps will be taught to the participants and then they will be requested to exercise alone (or with family) everyday for one hour in addition to their regular rehabilitation sessions (Occupational, Physical Therapy, speech). The intervention will include 15-20 sessions of 60 minutes of self-training using a tablet.
GRASP (Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program)(Harris et al., 2009)is an arm and hand exercise program developed for individuals with stroke with upper extremity impairments GRASP provides a method for patients to undertake a self-directed arm and hand exercise program. The exercises will be taught to the participants and then they will be requested to exercise alone (or with family) everyday for one hour in addition to their regular rehabilitation sessions (Occupational, Physical Therapy, speech). The intervention will include 15-20 sessions of 60 minutes of self-training
