Since this is for chronic you won't be getting this from your hospital or therapists. So you'll have to contact the researchers directly to get the protocol.

Abstract: Study compared effects of repetitive peripheral sensory stimulation (RPSS) followed by 4-hour task-specific training (TST) versus sham followed by a shorter duration of training in subjects with moderate-to-severe motor impairments in the chronic phase after stroke. This single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial compared effects of 18 sessions of either 1.5 hours of active RPSS or sham followed by a supervised session that included 45 minutes of TST of the paretic upper limb. In both groups, subjects were instructed to perform functional tasks at home, without supervision. The primary outcome measure was the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) after 6 weeks of treatment. Grasp and pinch strength were secondary outcomes. In intention-to-treat analysis, WMFT improved significantly in both active and sham groups at 3 and 6 weeks of treatment. Grasp strength improved significantly in the active, but not in the sham group, at 3 and 6 weeks. Pinch strength improved significantly in both groups at 3 weeks, and only in the active group at 6 weeks. The between-group difference in changes in WMFT was not statistically significant. Despite the short duration of supervised treatment, WMFT improved significantly in subjects treated with RPSS or sham. These findings are relevant to settings that impose constraints in duration of direct contact between therapists and patients. In addition, RPSS led to significant gains in hand strength.
