Deans' stroke musings: Robotic Exoskeleton for Grip Enhancement and Stroke Rehabilitation

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.

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the outline of a delicate wearable exoskeleton that involves a glove implanted with pneumatic actuators of variable firmness for hand assistive and restoration application. The gadget is lightweight and effortlessly wearable because of the utilization of delicate pneumatic actuators. A key element of the gadget is the variable firmness of the actuators at various territories that not just fit in with the finger profile amid activation, additionally gives adaptability to various hand measurements. The actuators can accomplish distinctive twisting profiles with variable firmness actualized at various regions. Thusly, the gadget can perform distinctive hand treatment activities, for example, full clench hand, straight clench hand, snare clench hand and table top. The gadget was described as far as its scope of movement and greatest compel yield. Examinations were led to look at the contrasts amongst dynamic and detached activation. The outcomes demonstrated that the gadget could accomplish hand getting a handle on and squeezing with worthy scope of movement and drive.
