Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,757 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

A novel robotic assistive device for hand stroke-rehabilitation
Well shit there are already robotic hands already out there, this is just a design. Hope you weren't hoping for kudos. Are you considering those like myself that have dead neurons in the hand control area?
Your doctor and stroke hospital can look at the intersection of these sets to see what they already should have been testing.
This
paper proposes a novel design of a robotic hand exoskeleton device
(PMHand) for the purpose of aiding post stroke rehabilitation. The main
effects of a stroke on the human hand and the current rehabilitation
methods and their limitations are briefly reviewed. The design process
and fabrication of a full hand exoskeleton, control system and
preliminary experimental results are presented in detail.
The
purpose of this work is to create a robot rehabilitation device that
can be used to aid the recovery of stroke patients. The device aims to
help patients recover normal patterns of motion in their hand after a
stroke, and also to aid physiotherapists in tracking how the
rehabilitation is progressing. The total number of stroke survivors in
the UK at present is approximately 1.2 million, with more than half of
these survivors suffering disabilities that affect their daily lives
[1]. Every year an estimated 152,000 people in the UK have a stroke.
Most of the rehabilitation available comes in the form of exercise with a
physiotherapist; this requires either regular home visits from the
physiotherapist, or the patient traveling to a hospital once a week for
treatment. Once with the physiotherapist, several different exercises
will be given to the patient. These will first be done with the aid of
the physiotherapist, to ensure they are being performed correctly, and
then the patient will be instructed to continue practicing on their own.
This can lead to the problem of the patient not performing the
exercises in the correct way, the recommended amount or potentially not
at all. The other method of stroke rehabilitation is the use of
specifically designed physiotherapy machines which are normally
performed at the hospital or a clinic where the patient is supervised.
This paper proposes a device that will both aid the patients
rehabilitation and improve the way a physiotherapist interacts with
them. The device will be of a light weight design, low cost,
aesthetically friendly and it will ensure the exercises are performed
correctly and the progress of each patient is recorded for the
physiotherapist to analyse at a later data.
