My Innovative Idea

While I have seen and read a lot about how the prosthetic devices are being made to connect to the brain better, I have not seen much about exercises that help the brain adapt better with the prosthetic. One activity that I very much enjoy is playing the drums, and I think that this would be a great way for amputees to better adapt to their prosthetic arms.  Rhythmic exercises have been known to improve peoples motor function.  If an amputee with a prosthetic arm or hand was given a book of simple exercises or rudiments that are meant to help improve an individuals rhythm, I believe that the amputee would gain better, more natural control of his or her prosthesis.
