TxBDC has developed rehabilitation devices that will monitor multiple parameters of arm, hand, and finger movement to allow highly precise, automated triggering of stimulation. When the patient performs the target movement successfully, these devices will trigger the Targeted Plasticity Therapy stimulator. These devices will mimic activities of daily living, including turning a door knob, grasping a key, and pulling a handle. A video game interface that is designed to encouraged adherence to daily motor therapy is used to cue the patient when to start a trial and provides feedback on their performance. The software is designed to run off a cellphone/tablet/computer.
