[...] Impaired dexterity of the weaker upper extremity is common post stroke and it is recommended that these individuals practice many repetitions of movement to regain function. However, stroke rehabilitation methods do not achieve the required intensity to be effective.

Therefore, it is important to develop more apps specifically for hand rehabilitation that can be graded and provide reports of performance.[...]
