Post-stroke could affect motor functions and it is important to take rehabilitation training program. Sensory input plays a fundamental role in motor recovery after stroke. The proposed system gives sensory input while linked to a simple gam and can reduce expensive training payment.

Pressure sensors mounted on the glove gives input data depends on the patient's grasping force. 5 FSR sensors connected to Arduino Main board are mounted on the gloves. Various entertainment applications can be connected to FSR sensors for sensory input.

Target audience is 4-7 Brunnstrom stages of motor recovery and training program can be adjusted depend on patient's situation. This multi-modal grasping object, Ditto, is designed for easy grasping as the way patient wants.
