Introduction
Early sensory re-education techniques are important strategies associated with cortical hand area preservation. The aim of this study was to investigate early cortical responses, sensory function outcomes and disability in patients treated with an early protocol of sensory re-education of the hand using an audio-tactile interaction dev...
The purpose of this study was to shed light on cortical audiotactile integration and sensory substitution mechanisms, thought to serve as a basis for the use of a sensor glove in the preservation of the cortical map of the hand after peripheral nerve injuries. Fourteen subjects were selected and randomly assigned either to a training group, trained...
Objective: To develop a sensory glove model and test it in subjects with normal sensitivity in the upper limbs, who have been trained to replace hearing with touch. Methods: To make the equipment, a glove, mini-microphones, amplifier and headphones were used. Seven female subjects, with a mean age of 26.28 years (± 1.03) were selected to use the eq...
OBJETIVO: Desenvolver um modelo de luva sensorial e testá-lo em indivíduos não portadores de alterações sensoriais dos membros superiores, treinados a substituir o tato pela audição. MÉTODOS: Para a confecção do equipamento foram utilizados: luva de tecido, minimicrofones, amplificador e fones de ouvido. Sete sujeitos do sexo feminino, idade média...
A patient who had undergone nerve injury repair surgery of the right-hand 5th-finger flexor tendons and digital nerve was studied in order to assess the effects of a hand sensory reeducation program. The patient was evaluated before and after the three-month program application, as to: touch pressure threshold (by monofilaments); static and moving...

... Most physiotherapists focus on motor improvements rather than the sensibility improvements though the sensory system may have an upper hand in improving the motor function [6,7]. Until now there is no optimal physical therapy protocol for making patients with CTS satisfied with the functional outcomes therefore most of patients are refuge to surgical interference [8,9]. ...

... A sensor glove model developed by the authors [20] and similar to that described by Lundborg et al. [16] was used for training (Fig. 1). The objective of training was to habilitate the volunteers to replace touch for hearing as much as possible during the identification of textures using the sensor glove. ...
... Strategies of sensory reeducation of the hand have been introduced after nerve repair in order to help the patient to reinterpret the altered sensory stimuli originating in the injured hand [5][6][7]19]. Currently, interventions such as the Sensor Glove System [16], involving the principles of cross-modal plasticity and cortical audiotactile interaction have become important tools in the attempts to preserve as much as possible the cortical map of the hand during the immediate post-injury period. ...
... Recent literature in neuroscience reports on modulation of sensory integration in the brain induced by real-time auditory feedback of motion information. Research on the effect of a sensor glove [8], which presents the tactile information of hand by sound, investigates the brain areas that are responsible for the modulated sensory integration. Behavioral investigation on the effect of auditory feedback of footstep during gait [9] reported significantly larger steps and forward drift of the body on a treadmill induced by the feedback, and discussed the changes in the mechanism of self-motion perception and sensory-motor integration. ...
