  • Abstract
    the Rehabilitation program needs to improve motor, sensory and cognitive performance so that the patient can do everyday functional tasks efficiently. The HandTutor™ rehabilitation program focuses on improving fine motor skills, sensory and cognitive impairments together with augmented feedback. Our research, on stroke patients, proves that combining HandTutor™ therapy with traditional hand therapy is more effective than traditional hand treatment alone.
