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.

Muscle Temperature Sensing and Control with a Wearable Device for Hand Rehabilitation of People After Stroke

But you only did partial work, you didn't follow thru to specify the protocols needed to recover the hand. All teachers would give you a failing grade on this. But just maybe you could repurpose this to deliver warm and cold alternatively instead of buckets of water.

Basically 15 seconds warm 30 seconds cool.

Muscle Temperature Sensing and Control with a Wearable Device for Hand Rehabilitation of People After Stroke


Abstract:
Muscle spasm affects the hand rehabilitation of the person after stroke. This paper presents the muscle temperature sensing and control with a wearable device. The device mainly consists of three layers, i.e. a Graphite heat dissipation film, a Peltier array, tailor-made radiation fins, from bottom to top. Multiple temperature sensors PT1000 installed between the film and the Peltier pieces are employed for distributed detecting the surface temperature of the muscle which drives the motion of fingers. The Peltier array is used to control the temperature of the muscle with a PID controller for regulating the voltage supplied for the Peltier array. The direction of the current through the Peltier array can be adjusted for cold and heat stimulation of the muscle. By precisely controlling the temperature of the muscle, this device could alleviate the muscle spasm and reduce the edema of hand for better rehabilitation treatment after stroke. The device can also be used for investigating other symptoms alleviation needing cold stimulation or thermotherapy.
