Abstract Background The functional outcome after stroke is improved by more intensive or sustained therapy. When the affected hand has no functional movement therapy is mainly passive movements. A novel device for repeating controlled passive movements of paralysed fingers has been developed which will allow therapists to concentrate on more complicated tasks. A powered cam shaft moves the four fingers in a physiological range of movement. Methods After refining the training protocol in 2 chronic patients 8 sub-acute stroke patients were randomised to receive additional therapy with the Finger Trainer for 20 min every work day for four weeks or the same duration of bimanual group therapy in addition to their usual .
