This award funds a project at the University of Utah to develop and validate a device for assessing and rehabilitating fine sensorimotor hand function in stroke patients, emphasizing tactile feedback and fine motor control.
Description
The project focuses on validating the Electronic Grip Gauge (EGG) for assessing and rehabilitating fine sensorimotor hand function in stroke patients. It involves clinical and scientific training at the University of Utah Neurorobotics Lab and aims to develop a standardized handheld wireless device that mimics a fragile object with embedded sensors to assess and rehabilitate fine sensorimotor hand function. The project is funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
