Deans' stroke musings: ON HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION MODALITIES IN THE UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION AFTER 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.

ON HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION MODALITIES IN THE UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION AFTER STROKE

I'm sure this compares and contrasts all the earlier upper limb robotics out there. Your doctor can confirm which studies were missed. Only 12 pages long.

ON HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION MODALITIES IN THE UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION AFTER STROKE

Abstract: The paper presents an overview of the current strategies in the human robot interaction modalities implemented in robotic rehabilitation systems for the upper limb. An in-depth analysis reveals the potential benefits of the existing approaches in relation to the post-stroke stage of the patient. Using several human body anthropometric models and experimental data collected from a group of patients the motion types and amplitudes, limb segment lengths and weights are calculated. Medical protocols for the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients are proposed in correlation with the latest studies and trials. The experimental and calculated data represent a critical point in the preliminary development of new conceptual structures for robotic assisted rehabilitation to ensure an efficient recovery of the post-stroke patients.
