About this study

Official title: Effects of Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Using Smart Glove in Stroke

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of smart glove which is motion-based program designed for upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate the therapeutic effects (upper extremity power, function and activity of daily living) of smart glove which is motion-based rehabilitation program.

Conditions
Stroke, Hemiplegia
Being tested
Smart Glove Treatment
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Smart Glove TreatmentDevice

    Smart glove is digital motion-based treatment device for stroke rehabilitation. The stroke patients wear this glove and hand motion is displayed on the computer monitor. They play games with this glove and are motivated to rehabilitation treatment because of fun.
