Yeah for Australians. You'll have to go to the link to see a non-understandable picture of what it looks like. Have your therapist report back to you on its feasibility.

SMART Arm Pty Ltd, the latest start-up enterprise from leading
Australian university commercialisation company UniQuest, has secured
investment from Townsville Mackay Medicare Local (TMML) to launch an
innovative device for improving recovery outcomes for people who have
experienced stroke and/or brain injury.
The Sensory-Motor Active
Rehabilitation Training (SMART) Arm is a portable, non-robotic
technology that enables stroke survivors with upper limb weakness to
drive their own rehabilitation.
With feedback on performance via
an interactive computer program and incremental increases in load and
reaching range, the SMART Arm reduces the degrees of freedom to be
controlled and provides a goal for movement. For stroke survivors with
very severe weakness, it can also be used with outcome-triggered
electrical stimulation to augment full-range reaching.
UniQuest
Managing Director, David Henderson, said SMART Arm Pty Ltd was formed to
further develop, manufacture and market the technology, which
originated from multi-disciplinary research at two Queensland
universities.
“SMART Arm the company is the culmination of more
than eight years of stroke rehabilitation research, design and testing
at James Cook University (JCU) and The University of Queensland (UQ),”
Mr Henderson explained.
“The SMART Arm technology was developed
by researchers across a number of disciplines, including physiotherapy,
neuroscience and engineering. We now have TMML on board, bringing to the
venture its commercial and community health acumen and access to
rehabilitation clinic and networks worldwide.
“This partnership
demonstrates how collaborations between universities, research
disciplines, and industry can translate into real and practical benefits
for the wider community,” Mr Henderson said.
While details of
the agreement between SMART Arm Pty Ltd shareholders and TMML remain
commercial-in-confidence, the transaction is expected to accelerate the
device’s manufacture so units could be available for distribution within
12 months.
Led by Dr Ruth Barker, an Adjunct Senior Lecturer
from JCU’s School of Public Health, Tropical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Sciences, the team which developed the SMART Arm included UQ
researchers Professor Richard Carson (Human Movement Studies), Associate
Professor Sandy Brauer (Physiotherapy), Dr David Lloyd (Human Movement
Studies) and Kate Hayward (Physiotherapy PhD student).
The
research team has demonstrated that a program of SMART Arm training
improved arm function, arm muscle activation and neural plasticity in
people with chronic stroke, with the last finding published in the July
2012 issue of Experimental Brain Research.
“We are thrilled to have a Queensland company like TMML back our innovation,” said Dr Barker.
“Stroke
is the leading cause of severe long term disability in the Western
world. Every year, over three million stroke survivors try to regain use
of their upper limbs. SMART Arm is one of the few interventions shown
to result in positive changes in neural plasticity in people with
chronic stroke, so we’re very keen to see the device become available to
as many as possible, as soon as possible,” Dr Barker said.
TMML
chairman, Dr Kevin Arlett, said TMML recognised the potential for SMART
Arm to address a major unmet need in the allied health care industry.
“We’re proud to be partnering with Dr Barker and her team to launch this technology commercially,” Dr Arlett said.
“The
SMART Arm will make a huge difference to stroke survivor outcomes
because it’s interactive and it allows patients to practise
independently and direct their own rehabilitation. And, because it’s
small enough to be used for clinical inpatient and outpatient settings
as well as in rehabilitation services, nursing homes and local area
health services, more people will benefit.”
Dr Barker recently
demonstrated the SMART Arm device at a workshop on driving neural
plasticity that was associated with this year’s International Society
for Electrophysiology and Kinesiology Congress (ISEK2012).
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,286 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Predicting recovery after stroke
And I would argue that they are doing it wrong, looking at disabilities rather than the dead area location and the penumbra location. You don't look at secondary problems you go straight to the primary cause. White matter vs. gray matter. 12 weeks is a ridiculous time to consider checking on recovery.

In work that may revolutionise rehabilitation for stroke
patients, researchers from The University of Auckland and the Auckland
District Health Board have shown it is possible to predict an
individual's potential for recovery of hand and arm function after a
stroke.
The new approach can be used to personalise rehabilitation so that patients and therapists set realistic goals for recovery.(100% recovery is the only goal needed, nothing less,figure out how to get there) It may also improve outcomes of trials that evaluate new therapies, by identifying patients who are most likely to respond to specific treatments.
"One in six people worldwide will have a stroke in their lifetime," says principal investigator Professor Winston Byblow. "After stroke, impairment of the arm and hand is very common and has a major impact on independence and quality of life.
"Until now it has only been possible to group patients together according to their broad similarity to others who have already gone through upper limb rehabilitation, but this information cannot inform an individual patient's rehabilitation plan. We have developed the first clinical algorithm to actually predict the individual patient's potential for recovery based on information gathered before rehabilitation begins."
The lead author of the study, Dr Cathy Stinear explains: "The algorithm begins with a bedside test within three days of stroke. The test takes only a few minutes and requires no special equipment. This is sufficient to provide a prediction for many patients, but for others an additional test is required to measure the integrity of neural pathways from the brain to the arm. If this test gives no definitive result, an MRI assessment can be performed to better determine whether the pathways in the stroke-damaged side of the brain remain viable."
The research team have trialled the process in patients and followed their recovery. "When the tests are combined in our stepwise algorithm they accurately predict each patient's recovery at 12 weeks, which is around the time that therapy normally ends," says Dr Stinear.
Neurologist Professor Alan Barber, a member of the research team and Head of the Auckland Hospital Stroke Service, says that the findings are very significant. "This is the first study to predict an individual's potential for motor recovery using measures obtained from that patient in the initial days after stroke. This information can be used to tailor rehabilitation before it begins."
The team is now involved in a three-year trial of the algorithm within the hospital. The results will show whether the algorithm leads to improved outcomes for patients and increases the efficiency of rehabilitation services.
The team's work was published in the journal "Brain" this week. It was funded by the Health Research Council of New Zealand.

Full list: Is there a primary stroke center near you?
From USA Today so the list is copied here;
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-08-10-stroke-list_N.htm#
Before you take the Joint Commissions rating call up the hospital and ask what percentage of strokes get tPA within the prescribed time. Then ask what percentage of that percentage get full recovery. If your hospital doesn't know the answer ask them how many patients they lose track of. I don't trust anything the Joint Commission does, they don't tell what the criteria is to get certified. You can email them and try to find out what they are hiding but you won't succeed. So we can't even tell how up-to-date the hospitals are with the latest research.
