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.

Kinematic Analysis of a Novel Exoskeleton Finger Rehabilitation Robot for Stroke Patients

Since fingers are one of the hardest things to recover you will have to insist your doctor analyzes this with the therapists to come up with a stroke protocol for your hand recovery. You will have to hope that out of the thousands of doctors doing this that your doctor is the one intelligent enough to figure out the exact correct protocol on the first try. Good luck with that.

Kinematic Analysis of a Novel Exoskeleton Finger Rehabilitation Robot for Stroke Patients

Abstract

–The exoskeleton robot technology is more and
more used in the assisting stroke patients in implementing
rehabilitation training. In this paper, a novel exoskeleton finger
robot has been described to aim at helping varieties of
hemiparalysis patients recover motor function. The robot system
adopts the EEG control and mainly consists of exoskeleton finger
robot, EEG system, HMI system, motor controllers unit, some
sensors and a workstation. And the hand exoskeleton mechanism
is portable, wearable and adjustable for patients doing home
rehabilitation training. Base on the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH)
parameters method, the kinematic model of finger has built to be
used in designing the robot. Through the simulation software
ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems),
the parameters of position, velocity and acceleration (PVA) in
each joint are simulated. From the result, it can view that the
robot has high movement ability to finish the Continuous Passive
Motion (CPM). Besides, a comparison test is done to study
whether there are some motion blocks in wearing exoskeleton
robot. Form the curve figure, in the two situations, the angle
range of the MCP (metacarpaophalangeal) joint is equal, which
verifies the interference of robot is small. These experiments
demonstrate the exoskeleton can provide high efficiency
movement ability for stroke doing the rehabilitation. In the
future, with the optimization design, the robot will improvement
and has a bright application prospect in the rehabilitation field.
