Every clinic and hospital dealing with stroke should have this available in the next month. What is your clinics excuse? Finger/hand use is the biggest problem for lots of patients. I have no individual use of any finger.

Abstract: This paper presents a low-cost
virtual-reality environment for training finger individuation in stroke
survivors with chronic hand impairment. Users play an ergonomic 5-key
virtual piano while receiving either assistance or resistance from a
pneumatically actuated glove. The level of assistance and the difficulty
of the task can be modulated by a therapist.
