Hemiplegia, Stroke
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of smart glove which is motion-based program designed for upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke.
Detailed description
This study will evaluate the therapeutic effects (upper extremity power, function and activity of daily living) of smart glove which is motion-based rehabilitation program.
Interventions
DEVICESmart Glove Treatment
Smart glove is digital motion-based treatment device for stroke rehabilitation. The stroke patients wear this glove and hand motion is displayed on the computer monitor. They play games with this glove and are motivated to rehabilitation treatment because of fun.
