Description

Jon Sanford and co-authors report on home rehab tech for aging hands in 2023. Hand strength and control shape daily tasks and the power to live at home. People aging with long term hand limits lack tools that engage them at home. Three pilot projects tested tech that gives feedback and tracks progress over time.

One tool pairs a phone app with sensor fitted daily objects like a coffee cup. Users guide their own practice while therapists watch progress from afar. A second tool uses in home piano training to work the fingers. The report sums what these pilots learned about keeping rehab going outside the clinic.
