There is one clinical trial.
Despite the functional importance, fingertip forces are rarely explicitly addressed with feedback in therapy. This gap in treatment is due to a lack of tools to provide explicit feedback on patients' volitional finger force generation. To address this unmet need, the investigators developed a novel tool for practice of volitional three-dimensional (3D) force generation with explicit feedback. The objective of this project is to determine if 3D finger force training is an effective tool in restoring hand function post stroke.
