glove for rehabbing stroke victims

I'm glad others are working on this but this one assumes you have full extension and flexion control. with spasticity you would never be able to get a glove on. They mention other gloves costing $30,000 but I've never seen any others. Which goes to show you how pathetic stroke rehabilitation knowledge is distributed.
This here is the only glove I've found and I couldn't tell if it ever made it to production.

http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/students-develop-glove-for-rehabbing-stroke-victims/At present, the aging population has resulted in a new, very large market in developed countries. As a result more hi-tech medical assistance is in demand to effectively treat patients at home, and with as little pain and discomfort as possible. To extend help to stroke patients suffering physical impairments in the comfort of their homes, Southeast Asian Justin Tan has come forward with a biomedical sensor glove. The glove is designed to recover mobility in such patients through playing of video games.


Such patients who find it difficult to travel up and down to doctors and therapists might find relief to the fact that the sensor glove enables patients to train in the comfort of their own homes with bare minimum supervision, while still under the monitoring eye of the doctor. With the help of 3D models the patients themselves can keep an eye on their progress and on the other hand these reports are also getting transferred to the supervising doctor saving on the extra costs and inconvenience on travelling to and from the hospital.

The Sensor Glove was developed by four final-year McGill Mechanical Engineering undergraduates under the supervision of Professor Rosaire Mongrain on a design request from the Tan’s company Jintronix Inc. The device which effectively used up a great deal of intense research both by Jintronix and the student group can track the movements of the wrist, the palm and the index finger using several Inertial Measurement Units.

Similar gloves nonetheless exist in the current market and costs about $30,000, but the students used more accurate and less expensive sensors, dropping the manufacturing price to $1000. However, the company plans to introduce the product in the market at about $500, making it fairly accessible to stroke patients. To receive a better funding for further development, Tan has submitted the proposal to an independent not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people in developing countries.
