A Platform for Rehabilitation of Finger Individuation in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

The brain injury that results in cerebral palsy CP may adversely affect fine motor control of the hand. The degradation of manual dexterity in the fingers profoundly impacts overall functionality of the upper limb, yet research efforts to facilitate rehabilitation of finger individuation in children with CP have been limited. This study describes the development of an integrated hardware and software platform for training and evaluating finger individuation.
