Maybe they should have gone to the possessed hand or just repurposed this Mozart glove. I have totally come to the conclusion that no one in the stroke rehab world keeps track of previous research in order to improve it.

Bill Broad, 73, from Sheffield, suffered a stroke in 2010 leaving him unable
to speak, forcing him to spell out words on an alphabet chart when trying to
communicate with his daughter Keeley Bellamy.
But now the former miner and athletics coach is first to be testing a new
technology that can translate hand gestures into speech.
Sensors fitted into a leather glove he wears on his left hand can detect his
hand movements, converting them into a synthesised voice. It has allowed him
to tell his family when he is hungry or thirsty, to ask the time and to say
“thank you”.
The device has been developed by a group of engineers who recently graduated
from the University of Sheffield.
