Brief Summary

Primary objective of this study is to explore the impact of a 3-week upper limb hand function training in patients with PD, MS or stroke. The benefits on hand function of this training program will be evaluated. The hypothesize is that the 3-week upper limb hand function training improves finger dexterity.

smart sensor egg training

EXPERIMENTAL

An interactive hand trainer with integrated sensors was developed and can be used as input devices to a training which runs on the smartphone or tablet computer to train different finger, hand, and wrist functions.

Device: smart sensor egg training

Interventions

smart sensor egg training DEVICE

The portable hand trainer has three principal functionalities: (I) Grasping, (II) Pronosupination, and (III) wrist and finger extension. Different exercises can be done.
