Deans' stroke musings: Post-stroke hand rehabilitation using a hybrid FES-robotic glove

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.

Post-stroke hand rehabilitation using a hybrid FES-robotic glove

With 54 posts on gloves and 165 posts on hand and 47 posts on fingers your therapists will know which one is most likely to bring back you hand/finger function. But I highly doubt that, so you are on your own researching rehab tools that will help you recover.

Abstract:

This paper presents the preliminary results of testing a hybrid FES-Robotic Glove specially designed for the rehabilitation process of the upper limb in stroke patients. This system brings as novelty the balanced control between the functional electrical stimulation used for artificially inducing the hand extensors contraction and the robotic glove which coordinates the fingers to perform proper movements. The system has been tested on a healthy person in laboratory and on a stroke patient within clinical environment.
