Smart gloves could allow stroke patients to relearn the piano

The gloves, which can "feel" the difference between right and wrong movements, can help patients relearn manual tasks. Scientists have developed a pair of smart gloves that could allow patients who have limb weakness to relearn to play the piano. Those who have had a stroke may often show a reduced ability or be completely unable to move their hands, fingers, or wrists, making it difficult to carry out manual movements. The exoskeleton glove uses artificial intelligence, touch sensors and moving components called actuators to help mimic natural hand movements so patients can relearn manual tasks. Researchers say that the proof-of-concept gloves "teaches" their wearer to feel the difference between right and wrong movements. When a person wears the gloves to play the piano, it is able to detect where the wearer went wrong in their movements, enabling them to "understand their performance and make improvements". "We found that the glove can learn to distinguish between correct and incorrect piano play," said Dr Erik Engeberg, a professor at Florida Atlantic University's department of ocean and mechanical engineering. "This means it could be a valuable tool for personalised rehabilitation of people who wish to relearn to play music."
