People suffering with hand motor disability resulted from causes like ischemic stroke, ataxia, muscular sclerosis and hand injuries (accidents) are normally recommended to perform much of their hand exercises without professional assistance. Intensive movement training can reduce hand motor impairment. Without feedback and encouragement, individuals often tend to lose motivation to practice hand exercise using the affected hand. This disuse contributes to further declines in proper hand motor function in affected limb. The MusicGlove is proposed and developed as away to facilitate and motivate the practice of hand movement for the people suffering from hand motor impairment. This device uses music as an interactive and motivating medium to guide hand exercise and to quantitatively assess hand movement recovery. It requires the user to practice functional movements, including pincer grip, key-pinch grip, and finger-thumb opposition. These movements are used to play different musical notes along with the songs displayed by an interactive game. The glove can be used to obtain a measure of hand dexterity (% of notes hit). The incorporation of music into training will significantly improve both objective measures of hand motor performance and self-ratings of motivation for training in a single session.
