Deans' stroke musings: Development of Robotic Gloves for Hand Rehabilitation Post-Stroke

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.

Development of Robotic Gloves for Hand Rehabilitation Post-Stroke

Send you doctor after this paper and see how many decades it will take before any of the robotic gloves show up in the stroke department. If you want to get them faster you better call up the hospital president and ask when a competent stroke department head will be installed.

This paper presents the hardware and software developments that have been achieved and implemented in the robotic gloves for hand rehabilitation post-stroke. The practical results are shown that prove the functionalities of the robotic gloves in common operating conditions. This work focused on development of a lightweight and low-cost robotic glove that patients can wear and use to recover hand functionality. We developed some structures for the robotic glove, as exoskeleton and as soft robotic glove. The paper presents a comparison of these structures.
