Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Treatment (Alarm Active)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be wearing the wrist device with an alarm timer that sends out signals every 5 minutes. The alarm is a buzzing noise and a vibration. Participants must turn off the alarm then perform a series of visuomotor tasks. This will be done for one hour, twice a day for two weeks. Intervention: Device - Wrist Alarm; Behavioral - Home-based Arm and Hand Exercise
Group II: Control (Sham Control)Placebo Group1 Intervention
Participants will perform the same tasks as the Alarm/Treatment group, but without the alarm timer. This is a series of visuomotor tasks for one hour, twice per day for two weeks. Intervention: Behavioral - Home-based Arm and Hand Exercise
