I could easily see repurposing this for passively moving the stroke affected fingers hours each day. And by the end you would know sign language. Getting the glove on might take hours.

TechCrunch is reporting from Microsoft’s Imagine Cup
where a team from Donetsk, Ukraine is showing off EnableTalk, an
electronic glove that can read and sign language being spoken by the
wearer. The idea is for the technology to bridge the gap and act as an
interpreter for deaf/mute folks to speak with the rest of us.
This is not the first example of this idea in action, as we reported earlier this year on the Mobile Lorm Glove
from Design Research Lab in Germany, but we’re hopeful that EnableTalk,
that features touch and flex sensors, a gyro, compass and accelerometer
to monitor hand movement, will actually become a real product in the
near future.
