  • 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.
