Introduction: It’s no sleight of hand — a computer based rehabilitation platform we developed at the University of Manitoba is helping to monitor and improve hand function among people with arthritis that affects their hands. Difficulties performing everyday activities when patients have arthritis of the hand is accepted as part of the disease, leading to more disability and restricted participation in the activities of daily living, including social life. Our platform meets the urgent need for home programs (HP) supplemented with informed client support and regular monitoring, to improve hand function and, in doing so, relieve disability and restore some of the satisfactions of daily life.
