In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Previous studies have found that graded motor imagery (GMI) training can provide continuous activation of the cerebral cortex compared to traditional rehabilitation therapy. One of the steps in this strategy, mirror therapy, has also been widely used in the clinical treatment of hemiplegic patients. Also, comparing with traditional rehabilitation treatments, mirror therapy can continuously provide cortical activation. Besides, several studies indicated that game-based interventions contribute to brain activation in the elderly due to their interest can improve users' motivation in the training program execution. In addition, force control training has positive effects on hand dexterity, and specific doses of motor control training not only improve motor function but also have positive effects on brain function. Currently, hand function training primarily focuses on range of motion, stre
