Your doctor and therapists should have this article before you ask about it, you do expect them to be up-to-date and competent Don't you?
Then why didn't they have it? What excuse did they use?

This paper presents a new sensing and interaction environment for
post-stroke and upper extremity limb rehabilitation. The device is a
combination of camera-based multitouch sensing and a supporting
therapeutic software application that advances the treatment, provides
feedback, and records a user's progress. The image-based analysis of
hand position provided by a Microsoft Surface is used as an input into a
tabletop game environment. Tailored image analysis algorithms assess
rehabilitative hand movements. Visual feedback is provided in a game
context. Experiments were conducted in a sub-acute rehabilitation
center. Preliminary user studies with a stroke-afflicted population
determined essential design criteria. Hand and wrist sensing, as well as
the goals of the supporting game environment, engage therapeutic
flexion and extension as defined by consulted physicians. Participants
valued personalization of the activity, novelty, reward and the ability
to work at their own pace in an otherwise repetitive therapeutic task. A
"character" - game element personifying the participant's movement -
was uniquely motivating relative to the media available in the typical
therapeutic routine.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
