You will need to ask your doctor and therapists to follow up since not enough information is given to even guess what they are doing or where to acquire such devices. .

Scientists in Rome have begun
experiments using a robotic glove and a videogame for victims
who have lost the use of their wrist and hand from a stroke.
The project is called Script, for Supervised Care and
Rehabilitation Involving Personal Tele-Robotics, and is being
carried out at the San Raffaele Pisana Recovery Institute in
Rome, as well as at the Roessingh Research and Development
center in Holland and at the University of Sheffield in Britain.
It is the first treatment that combines robotics and
videogames for stroke patients.
The videogame in effect helps patients reconnect the
coordination between the nerves in their arms and their brains
with the aid of the robotic glove, which specialists can
manipulate.
"Doctors and rehabilitation therapists have the ability to
remotely monitor the treatments using a web-based platform said
Patrizio Sale, head of clinical trials. "They can program new
and more complex exercises aimed at providing a more functional
recovery".
