---|---|
Experimental: Smart Glove Group The subjects will be treated with conventional occupational therapy for 30 minutes and smart glove treatment for 30 minutes. 5 treatments per week will be conducted a total of 2 weeks. |
Device: Smart 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.
|
No Intervention: Homework group The subjects will be treated with conventional occupational therapy for 30 minutes and upper extremity rehabilitation homework which means the self training at bedside, for 30 minutes. 5 treatments per week will be conducted a total of 2 weeks. |
