Deans' stroke musings: Rehabilitation robots: a compliment to virtual reality

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.

Rehabilitation robots: a compliment to virtual reality

We don't need useless crapola like discussion or descriptions. We need stroke protocols that provide 100% recovery. WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU GET THERE? This just completely proves once again that survivors need to be in charge.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of robots for upper limb rehabilitation following strokes
in adults. We describe the main robots currently being developed and the results of clinical studies
that have been carried out. The association of virtual reality interfaces and the robotic rehabilitation programs providing therapy in the form of games with a view to helping therapists increase the duration of rehabilitation exercise.
Le but de cet article est de discuter l’apport de la robotique pour la rééducation du membre supé-
rieur à la suite d’un accident vasculaire cérébral chez les adultes. Les principaux robots qui ont été développés sont décrits en relation avec les résultats des évaluations cliniques. Le couplage
entre des interfaces de réalité virtuelle et les programmes de rééducation utilisant les robots offre
des ouvertures thérapeutiques sous forme de jeux en vue d’aider les thérapeutes à accroître ladurée des exercices de rééducation.
Introduction
Over the past ﬁfteen years, a plethora of rehabilitation robots in many shapes and forms have
popped out from laboratories all over the world. Many have not yet got beyond the stage of feasibility tests. However, a few have begun to be evaluated in clinical trials and today
we are beginning to have an idea of the effects of robotic therapy on recovery of motor
function, even though many questions remain unanswered. Robots have been developed
to compensate for loss of motor capacity [ROB 02], for retraining gait [HES 06, MAY 07]

and for upper limb rehabilitation. Robots are highly complementary to virtual reality for
therapy as they can provide a haptic interface and/or support and assistance. The aim of
this paper is to discuss the use of robots for upper limb rehabilitation following stroke in
adults. Firstly we will describe the main robots currently being developed and the results of clinical studies which have been carried out. We will then go on to discuss the perspectives for this type of rehabilitation.
