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.

ReWalk Completes Critical Design Review Processes of Restore System for Move to Clinical Studies

Your stroke hospital should have already evaluated this against these other 92 posts on exoskeletons.

ReWalk Completes Critical Design Review Processes of Restore System for Move to Clinical Studies

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and YOKNEAM ILIT, Israel, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) ("ReWalk") announced today completion of all internal processes to initiate clinical studies and the initial production of its "soft suit" exoskeleton design for stroke patients.  Called "Restore," the new system is the first product in the company's expansion into new technologies that will serve mobility-challenged patient communities.  This design is targeted to serve the stroke rehabilitation community.
This lightweight design of the Restore system was specifically configured for stroke survivors who face mobility issues.  The system is designed to provide real-time adjustable walking assistance for stroke patients in a compact, light, modular soft exosuit structure.  It utilizes some of the key features from structural exoskeleton designs in assisting rehabilitation, with the advancement of being able to achieve these goals without the size, structure and expense of current designs. 
"Achieving successful laboratory testing and design review processes with the Restore system is a milestone that advances our efforts for commercialization," said ReWalk CEO Larry Jasinski.  "The potential of these soft suit designs to expand the utilization of robotic technologies initially with stroke patients in rehab—and in the future for community use—is meaningful. Research into applications, such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease is the next horizon."
How It Works: the Restore transmits power to key joints of the legs with cable technologies, powered with software and mechanics that are similar to the technologies used in the ReWalk exoskeleton system for individuals with spinal cord injury. The cables are connected to fabric-based designs that attach to the legs and foot, thus lending the name "soft suit." 
Anticipated delivery of a commercial Restore soft suit is targeted for 2018.   ReWalk plans to commercialize use of the Restore system in Europe and the United States after receiving CE and FDA clearance, respectively, to market the device. The company intends to apply for CE and FDA clearances in mid-2018; CE and FDA clearance applications will be submitted as clinical and laboratory testing are completed in the coming months.
