3.1 Purpose of the Device
The MusicGlove is a sensorized glove designed to promot
e
recovery of hand function after injury. The device is intended to trea
t
individuals with mild to moderate impairment of the hand.
The MusicGlove works by encouraging a high number of repetition
s
of meaningful gripping movements through an engaging, music
-
based game. Users must make specific grips in time with the son
g
they are listening to. The correct grip and timing are shown b
y
scrolling notes on a screen.
User’s Guide

The MusicGlove also records the percentage of notes that were
“
hit”, the total number of grips performed, and the total time playe
d
f
or each song. This information can be used to track progress ove
r
t
ime. As your score goes up, so does your ability to use your hand
!
