abstract = "Rehabilitation of the weak hand is an important aspect of improving daily activities post-stroke. iPad applications have opened new opportunities for rehabilitation by facilitating goal-oriented, repetitive and motivating hand movements. This pilot study assessed the suitability of the iPad for improving hand function post-stroke. Eleven individuals with and 11 without stroke experienced existing iPad apps and motor abilities were measured. Significant differences between groups and correlations between the app performances to the motor abilities of the weak hand were found. These preliminary findings point to the potential of using apps in the process of post-stroke hand rehabilitation.",
