Musical Biofeedback for Sensorimotor Control Capacity of Hands

In the proposed study, the investigators assumed that music support treatment, a multisensory-based framework for ameliorating brain plasticity, combined with low-amplitude vibration stimulation can prime motor system and change in motor performance for the patient with a peripheral injury or the loss of a limb. The specific aim of this study is to develop a Multisensory Biofeedback with Musical Interface system, with the aim of improving the sensorimotor impairment of patients' hands.The expected outcomes of this research are to clarify the effects of application Multisensory Biofeedback with Musical Interface on motor and hand function for patients with hand injuries.
