Or maybe stroke patients as a form of neurofeedback.

PhysOrg is profiling the work of researchers at Imperial
College London who developed a vibrational feedback device that teaches
blind people to perform precise repetitive movements without an
ever-present coach. The Ghost system can memorize specific movements
when demonstrated by a trainer. The athlete can then repeatedly
practice those movements while the Ghost monitors their accuracy and
provides guidance using vibrations and audio cues.
Moreover, the system can import motion recordings taken from star
athletes, helping the blind reproduce techniques that win medals in the
Olympics. Although the system was designed specifically for blind
athletes, we expect the technology to find its way to people recovering
from a stroke or other neurological conditions.
