Ask your doctor if this is far enough along for you to use in rehabilitating your hand. You shouldn't even have to ask since your doctor should be up-to-date in all things stroke rehab. But you know that is not true. Especially if your doctor has abandoned any pretense of knowledge of stroke rehab by writing prescriptions saying; E.T.(Evaluate and Treat).

Abstract
The rehabilitation training robots for treating the upper limbs
of stroke patients were mainly focused on the upper proximal treatment
of it, but recently studies of the distal parts of the upper limbs for
rehabilitation of the hand is making some progress even though it is
still a small number so far. In this paper, we present the hand robot
for the rehabilitation training of stroke patients that is the fingertip
contact-typed mechanism, and it has also equipped with the wrist
rehabilitation unit to be worked like human hand that enables any
movements through mutual cooperation by fingers while picking up or
grasping objects. The robot that is presented for this purpose supports
the movement of fingers with 5-DoF and the wrist with 3-DoF that moves
independently, and operates with a structure that allows the joints of
the wrist and fingers to be collaborated organically together to each
other. Also, hereby the simulation and evaluation test on its robot
mechanism are performed to ensure that fingers with 5-DoF and the wrist
with 3-DoF of the serial kinematical mechanism are designed to comply
with or exceed ROM for ADL.
