Study summary
The aim is to clinically validate the clinical efficacy, usability, and safety of home-based upper limb rehabilitation training using the Neofect Smart Glove by comparing the effects between a group using the home-based Neofect Smart Glove and a group performing conventional home-based occupational therapy in patients with upper limb dysfunction in the late subacute and chronic stages of neurological diseases.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients with brain disorder aged 19 to 85 years old
* patients with hemiparesis lasting for more than 3 months due to neurological diseases (stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor) and impaired upper limb function
* Patients with spasticity of the wrist and finger flexors and extensors on the affected side, with a Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score of 1+ or lower
* Participants with sufficient cognitive function to understand the instructions from the researcher and the smart glove, and to perform the tasks (K-MMSE ≥21)
Exclusion Criteria:
* pre-existing significant neurogenic disorders
* major psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or dementia
* History of diseases that caused pain or muscle atrophy in the affected upper limb before the onset of the neurological disease, which interfered with rehabilitation
* Severe spasticity of the affected upper limb (Modified Ashworth Scale score ≥3)
* skin disorders or open wounds on the affected upper limb
* Amputation, fractures, or soft tissue-related diseases or injuries on the affected upper limb
* severe pain that interferes with rehabilitation of the affected upper limb (Numeric Rating Scale \> 6)
* Inability to maintain a seated posture for more than 10 minutes
* Significant visual impairment to the extent that the screen cannot be recognized when using the smart glove
Primary outcome measure(s)
Improvement of uper limb score in Fugl-Meyer assessment — Within 14 days before the intervention, within 2 days after intervention The total score ranges from 0 to 66, with higher scores indicating better motor function. This outcome reports the change in score, calculated as: (Score at Post-intervention) minus (Score at Baseline).
