Deans' stroke musings: “Revolutionary” sensor-based therapy device launched at stroke conference

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.

“Revolutionary” sensor-based therapy device launched at stroke conference

Your doctor and hospital can compare this with the intersection of these earlier options. OR HAVE THEY DONE ABSOLUTELY NO VERIFICATION OF ANY REHAB RESEARCH? Being irresponsible as always.

Healthcare equipment supplier Beechfield Healthcare recently launched the innovative Bimeo at the Irish Heart Foundation’s Stroke Conference, which aims to transform stroke therapy rehabilitation.
Designed by Kinestica, the Bimeo is a cutting-edge upper body rehab device designed to replace traditional stroke therapy methods. Using virtual reality gaming, the product is designed to encourage patients to continue with essential daily exercises by making the rehabilitation exercises entertaining, challenging and fun.

Regular exercise can improve stroke survivors’ chances of regaining full arm and hand use and the Bimeo uses rehabilitation activities that are closely oriented to situations from daily life.
These exercises are synchronised with the device through sensors, which capture objective data to provide the clinician with insight into the patient’s progress. The progress is monitored, and the treatment can be adjusted to maximise individual benefit and speed up recovery.
This multi-functional and easy-to-use device allows therapists to prescribe a wide variety of therapy options, such as bimanual and unimanual mode; isolated arm joint mode; unimanual and bimanual mode with support and support sphere mode.
The various therapy modes require different therapeutic attachments which are quickly changed via the quick release mechanism and a few clicks of the simple user interface.

The Bimeo benefits both the patient and the therapist, as a single therapist can simultaneously assist multiple patients exercising with the Bimeo.
Speaking at the launch, James Gargan, Commercial Director for Beechfield Healthcare, commented: “We are delighted to launch the Bimeo in Ireland here at the Nation Stroke Conference in Croke Park. The enthusiastic response we’ve received from clinicians has been tremendous.
“The lack of upper body therapy solutions has been a reoccurring subject for quite some. When we saw Bimeo in action, we knew it would be a fantastic addition to our rehabilitation offering.”
Beechfield is the exclusive distributor of the Bimeo Pro in Ireland.
Kinestica designs innovative products that aim to motivate neurological rehabilitation through virtual reality. Its products strive to enable better therapy outcomes in less time and with fewer resources, helping patients and carers alike.
